Since SS 2005 does not have a Time only data type, what do I do if all I need is the time?

I want to have two fields: TimeFrom and TimeTo

Do I use smalldatetime for both of them? But how?

you can use either datetime or smalldatetime depending on your requirement and set date as 1900-01-01

to get the current time only use


select getdate() - dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, getdate()), 0)

Doesn't it support format function?

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE(), 108)
