How to cast the DateTime to Time

Question

I am casting DateTime field to Time by using CAST Syntax.

select CAST([time] as time) as [CSTTime]

DateTime

Answer 1

SQL Server 2008:

select cast(MyDate as time) [time] from yourtable

Earlier versions:

select convert(char(5), MyDate , 108) [time] from yourtable

Other Options:

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE(), 114)

The simplest way to get the time from datetime without millisecond stack is:

SELECT CONVERT(time(0),GETDATE())

Hour and Minute

SELECT substring(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(), 108),0,6) AS Time
