Hi there - I have the following time value column in a table:


next_run_time
230000
73000
70000

The above actually translates to 23:00, 7:00AM,7:30AM, etc. How can I convert this into a meaningful time value?

[CODE]
SELECT NEXT_RUN_TIME FROM TABLE T1
[CODE]

Cast it as time (or datetime) after formatting it to a literal string acceptable to time (or datetime)

CAST(STUFF(CAST(YourIntegerColumn/10 AS VARCHAR(16)),3,0,':') AS TIME)

cast(right('0'+reverse(substring(reverse(next_run_time),5,2)),2) as char(2)) + ':' +
cast(reverse(substring(reverse(next_run_time),3,2)) as char(2)) + ':' +
cast(right(next_run_time,2) as char(2)) as time
)
from
