How do I strip the date off of a datetime string in SQL SSIS?

Question

I\'m working on a data warehouse project and would like to know how to (preferably in a Derived Column component in a Data flow) strip the date piece off of a SQL datetime r

Answer 1

Ran into this with writing a report for a scheduling app, needed the time that was stored as part of a datetime data type. I formated the datetime as 0 which gives you this mon dd yyyy hh:miAM (or PM), and just did a substring of that which returned the time only in an AM/PM format.

Example below.

DECLARE @S DATETIME = GETDATE()

SELECT SUBSTRING(CONVERT(NVARCHAR(30), @S , 0) , 13 , 10) AS ApptTime
    , CONVERT(NVARCHAR(30), @S , 0) AS ApptDate
