I'm implementing a new project, using EF6 CodeFirst , EF6 creates my Sql-Server database, with date columns like datetime .
What would be the difference between datetime and datetime2 , and which one is most likely to be used?

DATETIME2 has a date range greater than DATETIME :
DATETIME : 01/01/1753 E 12/31/9999 DATETIME2 : 01/01/0001 A 12/31/9999
The MSDN documentation recommends using DATETIME2 (from SQL Server 2008 ):
Use the time, date, datetime2, and datetimeoffset data types for the new job. These types conform to standard SQL. They are more portable. time, datetime2, and datetimeoffset provide more accuracy of seconds. datetimeoffset is compatible with time zone for globally deployed applications.
