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

If you are using MySql you can use TIME_FORMAT()

Code ↓↓

SELECT name, time_format(datatime,'%H:%i') as tine from cuatomer

Answer 2

If You are using SQL Server 2008 or Higher You can use the following statement:

SELECT Convert( VarChar( 10 ), CAST([columnName] AS TIME(0)), 100 )

Answer 3

You can use a combination of CONVERT, RIGHT and TRIM to get the desired result:

SELECT ltrim(right(convert(varchar(25), getdate(), 100), 7))

The 100 you see in the function specifies the date format mon dd yyyy hh:miAM (or PM), and from there we just grab the right characters.

You can see more about converting datetimes here.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

You might be able to use:

select

convert(varchar,getdate(),114)

You might be able to manually construct the query like:

string query = string.Format("INSERT INTO test (DateOnlyField, TimeOnlyField) VALUES ('{0}', '1899-12-30 {1}')", DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString(), TimeString)

I dunno if this might work to:

Create Table Schedule( ScheduleID Integer Identity, ScheduledTime DateTime )

Go

Insert Into Schedule( ScheduledTime ) Values( '10:15:00 AM' )

Go

Select ScheduledTime As DBScheduledTime, Convert( VarChar( 10 ), ScheduledTime, 114 ) As ScheduledTime

From Schedule

Go

Drop Table Schedule

Go

Answer 6

You can use the CONVERT function like this:

SELECT CONVERT(varchar, your_datetime, 108)

However, this is 24-hour clock, no AM/PM.
