Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio说RowVersion是无效类型

Question

Is there a way when creating a tables through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, to specify a field as RowVersion rather than Timestamp?

This is what I get when I try to use rowversion as a type of a field:

I am on Windows 7 64bit, SQL Server 2014 Express, and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17.1

Don't have enough reputation to post a comment. This has been asked before. below is the link

if you are using GUI,then use TimeStamp' which is how rowversion` is stored under the hoods

CREATE TABLE dbo.x(y ROWVERSION);

even the above ddl under the hoods will be stored as Timestamp ,you can verify the same using below

SELECT t.name 
  FROM sys.types AS t
  INNER JOIN sys.columns AS c
    ON c.system_type_id = t.system_type_id
  INNER JOIN sys.tables AS st
    ON c.[object_id] = st.[object_id]
  INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS s
    ON st.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]
  WHERE st.name = N'x'
    AND s.name = N'dbo'
    AND c.name = N'y';
