    Description

      The documentation for the Largest TIMESTAMP value in the DATE, TIME and TIMESTAMP limitations section of the Derby limitations of the reference manual is incorrect.

      http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefdttlimits.html

      The incorrectly stated value is 9999-12-31-24.00.00.000000

      The correct value should be 9999-12-31-23.59.59.999999

      I tested this on a 10.1.3 and the 10.2 beta releases.

      ij> create table timestamp_tab(id integer, timestamp_col timestamp);
      0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
      ij> insert into timestamp_tab values (2, '9999-12-31-23.59.59.999999');
      1 row inserted/updated/deleted
      ij> insert into timestamp_tab values (1, '9999-12-31-24.00.00.000000');
      ERROR 22007: The string representation of a datetime value is out of range.
