The database stores time in seconds, how can I convert seconds into hours. Example: 900652 seconds converted into hours is 250.18111111

To convert seconds into hours, divide seconds by 3600.

if you are doing it in T-SQL, you need to divide by 3600.0 to get the hours in decimals


select 900652  / 3600, 900652  / 3600.0
