time format in SQL Server

Question

Does anyone know how can I format a select statement datetime value to only display time in SQL Server?

example:

Table cuatomer
id   name   datetime
         


        

Answer 1

This will get the time from a datetime value and also give the am or pm add on

SELECT RIGHT('0'+LTRIM(RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar,getDate(),100),8)),7) 

will always return the date in HH:mmAM format.

Note the lack of space

Or

SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(RIGHT('0'+LTRIM(RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar,getDate(),100),7)),7),'AM',' AM'),'PM',' PM')

will always return the date in HH:mm AM format.

Hope that helps.
