I want to convert the following time values into HH:MIAM or HH:MIPM,
I have the following data in my table:

Create table #temp
(time char(4))

Insert into #temp
select '0900'
union
select '0915'
union
select '0930'
union
select '1200'
union
select '1300'
union
select '1515'
union
select '1530'
union
select '1545'
union
select '1600'

select * from #temp

I want for example the following output:
9AM for '0900'
3:45PM for '1545'

Thanks!

Best Hack I could come up with


SELECT RIGHT(
		CONVERT(varchar(50),
		  CONVERT(datetime,
	'1900-01-01 '+LEFT([time],2)+':'+RIGHT([time],2))
	,0),7)
FROM #temp
