Hi

I have TIME stored in the column as

stime
-----
16:12:00
16:14:00
00:00:00
16:12:00
02:18:00

Required output :
1612
1614

I need to get its as in 24 hrs (not required seconds)
Ex:16:12

I am also require without semicolon Ex:1612

Many Thanks in advance

select convert(char(2),substring(stime,1,2)) + convert(char(2),substring(stime,4,2))

If time is stored as varchar (and time only)

SELECT REPLACE(LEFT(sTime, 5), ':', '')

If time is stored as datetime

SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), sTime, 108), ':', '')

E 12°55'05.25"
N 56°04'39.16"

Is this for display purpose? If yes, its better to do this in your front end application.
ANd if you want really to do it in SQL Server,try thi:-

SELECT LEFT(REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar(10),DateColumn,108),':',''),4) FROM YourTable

IF you use front end application, do this formation there
If you use datetime column

select datepart(hour,col)*100+datepart(minute,col) from your_table

Will that include leading zero if time is before 10 am?
