| I use Convert(char(24),GetDate(),108) to insert time to table, but it always gives me something like '1900-01-01 14:59:19.000'(1900-01-01 in front of time).Does anybody tell why? |

| It doesn't. datetimes are stored as 2 binary fields. The first is the number of days since 1 jan 1900.For display the datetime is converted to a character value and if you display the date (0) you will see 1 jan 1900.You can format it to display just the time if you wish.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| If you want to store exact time value only, change your column datatype as "Varchar(8)" instead of "Datetime".":-) IT Knowledge is power :-)" |

| nricardo, if you store the time portion in a datetime column, it will also add a date to it. To not see the date, use the CONVERT function when you SELECT the data.Tara |

| Anyone else notice that we have had a seemingly large number of date questions as of late? Shannon |

| Yukon might help these "user" problems as it will have a date data type and a time data type.Tara |

| Now the only issue would be, how long after Yukon comes out, will we finally get to switch to using it.Shannon |
