Time DataType in Sql Server 2005

Question

I\'ve created small database under SQL Server 2008. Now i wanted to move it to SQL Server 2005 and it doesn\'t work since it doesn\'t have Ti

Answer 1

SQL Server 2005 does support the DATETIME datatype, which also includes time. To store only the time, you can use the CONVERT statement:

SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, '11:22:33')

It's not optimal, because the date part is not used, but still takes up storage space. But then again, downgrading a database to a previous version never is optimal.
