Does anyone know how can I format a select statement datetime value to only display time in SQL Server?
example:
Table cuatomer
id name datetime
1 Alvin 2010-10-15 15:12:54:00
2 Ken 2010-10-08 09:23:56:00
When I select the table I like the result will display as below
id name time
1 Alvin 3:12PM
2 Ken 9:23AM
Any way that I can do it in mssql?
You can use a combination of CONVERT, RIGHT and TRIM to get the desired result:
SELECT ltrim(right(convert(varchar(25), getdate(), 100), 7))
The 100 you see in the function specifies the date format mon dd yyyy hh:miAM (or PM), and from there we just grab the right characters.
You can see more about converting datetimes here.
You can use the CONVERT function like this:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar, your_datetime, 108)
However, this is 24-hour clock, no AM/PM.
This will get the time from a datetime value and also give the am or pm add on
SELECT RIGHT('0'+LTRIM(RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar,getDate(),100),8)),7)
will always return the date in HH:mmAM format.
Note the lack of space
Or
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(RIGHT('0'+LTRIM(RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar,getDate(),100),7)),7),'AM',' AM'),'PM',' PM')
will always return the date in HH:mm AM format.
Hope that helps.

Try:
select convert(varchar, getdate(), 108)
+ ' ' + RIGHT(convert(varchar, getdate(), 100), 2) as Time
You might be able to use:
select
convert(varchar,getdate(),114)
You might be able to manually construct the query like:
string query = string.Format("INSERT INTO test (DateOnlyField, TimeOnlyField) VALUES ('{0}', '1899-12-30 {1}')", DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString(), TimeString)
I dunno if this might work to:
Create Table Schedule( ScheduleID Integer Identity, ScheduledTime DateTime )
Go
Insert Into Schedule( ScheduledTime ) Values( '10:15:00 AM' )
Go
Select ScheduledTime As DBScheduledTime, Convert( VarChar( 10 ), ScheduledTime, 114 ) As ScheduledTime
From Schedule
Go
Drop Table Schedule
Go
If You are using SQL Server 2008 or Higher You can use the following statement:
SELECT Convert( VarChar( 10 ), CAST([columnName] AS TIME(0)), 100 )
If you are using MySql
you can use TIME_FORMAT()
Code ↓↓
SELECT name, time_format(datatime,'%H:%i') as tine from cuatomer

I'm stuck in finding an answer on how to convert:
07-DEC-18 01.00.54.984000 PM to 2018-12-07 13.00.54.984000
I think the time of 01.00.54 PM is 13hours , 0 minutes and 54 seconds
I have try to convert with 112 but still i can't find out how to cast or convert this.
Below is one method that converts the date and time portions separately, and then uses DATEADD to combine the results. This assumes the actual time precision is not greater than milliseconds. Note that you need to use datetime2 instead of datetime to avoid rounding to 1/300 milliseconds.
DECLARE #DateTimeString varchar(30) = '07-DEC-18 01.00.54.984000 PM';
SELECT DATEADD(
millisecond
, DATEDIFF(millisecond, '', CAST(REPLACE(SUBSTRING(#DateTimeString, 11, 8), '.', ':') + RIGHT(#DateTimeString, 10) AS time))
, CAST(LEFT(#DateTimeString, 9) AS datetime2)
);
This converts your value to the datatype it should be, a datetime2(6). Date and time datatypes don't have formats, if you're storing them in a particular format you're doing it wrong (as it means you're storing the value as a varchar).
DECLARE #YourDate varchar(30) = '07-DEC-18 01.00.54.984000 PM';
SELECT V.YD,
TRY_CONVERT(datetime2(6),F.FormatedYD,106)
FROM (VALUES(#YourDate)) V(YD)
CROSS APPLY (VALUES(STUFF(STUFF(V.YD,13,1,':'),16,1,':'))) F(FormatedYD);
If this was a table, then I would fix your actual column datatype by doing the following:
UPDATE YT
SET YourDateColumn = CONVERT(varchar(30),TRY_CONVERT(datetime2(6),F.FormatedYD,106),126)
FROM YourTable YT
CROSS APPLY (VALUES(STUFF(STUFF(YT.YourDateColumn,13,1,':'),16,1,':'))) F(FormatedYD);
ALTER TABLE YourTable ALTER COLUMN YourDateColumn datetime2(6);
Data example:
AtrxId AtrxDate AtrxTime AtrxDes
------------------------------------------
CAS-000001 05-03-2018 12:43 PM Cash
INV-000001 05-03-2018 11:04 AM Credit
I need the output sorted according to time in a particular day:
AtrxId AtrxDate AtrxTime AtrxDes
-----------------------------------------
INV-000001 05-03-2018 11:04 AM Credit
CAS-000001 05-03-2018 12:43 PM Cash
1) Why is it nvarchar? Just asking... this will likely cause many problems for you down the line, unless you need it to be nvarchar because it needs to sometimes accept invalid dates.
This should work. This assumes that both AtrxDate and AtrxTime are nvarchar. It also assumes that there are always valid dates and times in the fields. If either are not valid, then the TRY_CONVERT will return null, which basically means that those will be sorted first:
SELECT
AtrxId
, AtrxDate
, AtrxTime
, AtrxDes
FROM tablenamehere t
ORDER BY TRY_CONVERT(AtrxDate + ' ' + AtrxTime AS datetime) DESC
I'm not sure if you want it listed in forward or backward order by date/time (the example is listed in forward order, but the question's subject line says DESC), but if you want it in forward order, it's just a matter of replacing DESC with ASC. :)
You can try the following query. According to your sorting requirement, put "ASC" or "DESC"
DECLARE #TABLE TABLE (AtrxId VARCHAR(100), AtrxDate DATE, AtrxTime TIME, AtrxDes VARCHAR(100))
INSERT INTO #TABLE
SELECT 'CAS-000001', '05-03-2018', '12:43 PM', 'Cash' UNION ALL SELECT 'INV-000001','05-03-2018','11:04 AM','Credit'
SELECT * FROM #TABLE ORDER BY AtrxDate,AtrxTime
Or you can try the following select query
SELECT * FROM #TABLE ORDER BY CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(CHAR(8), AtrxDate, 112)
+ ' ' + CONVERT(CHAR(8), AtrxTime, 108))
I have a table with a VARCHAR field called ArrivalDate in format yymmdd (such as 170202).
I am writing a query which converts it to yyyymmdd so it should become 20170202.
However my problem is that I need to cater for the case when inappropriate data is entered into the field, and my query needs to exclude that data. I am achieving this exclusion by using the ISDATE function of TSQL. I also need to select the least recent entry (I'm using order by asc for this).
I am using a variety of converts to write this query, below is my implementation with a sample table and data.
Declare #tmp TABLE (theDates VARCHAR(MAX))
INSERT INTO #tmp VALUES('170202')
SELECT TOP 1 t.theDates
WHEN (ISDATE(t.theDates) = 1) THEN CONVERT( VARCHAR(max),CONVERT(datetime t.theDates), 112)
FROM #tmp t
WHERE (ISDATE(t.theDates) = 1)
ORDER BY CAST(t.theDates as DATE)
However I do not like my approach and it occasionally fails conversion and throws an error with values such as 02/02/02 which breaks the query. Can someone please show me a better way of writing this functionality.
Much appreciated!
You can use TRY_CONVERT and CONVERT to get the correct format and convert the value. Then check that the string is exactly 6 character to prevent other formats from being returned.
SELECT
convert(char(10),convert(date, theDates, 12),112)
FROM
(values('02/02/02'),('170202')) x(theDates)
WHERE
try_convert(date, theDates, 12) is not null
and len(theDates) = 6
You can use cast(#date as datetime)
declare #date varchar(max);
set #date='170202';
select
CASE WHEN (ISDATE(cast(#date as datetime)) = 1)
THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(max), CONVERT(datetime, cast(#date as datetime)), 112) end
from table
set #date='02/02/02';
select
CASE WHEN (ISDATE(cast(#date as datetime)) = 1)
THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(max), CONVERT(datetime, cast(#date as datetime)), 112) end
from table
please use create function for check dateformat is Valid or not and use this fun in your query inside cash clouse.
ALTER FUNCTION dbo.f_CheckDate
(#InDate nvarchar(25))
RETURNS DATE
AS
BEGIN
declare #Return DATETIME
select #return = CASE WHEN ISDATE(#InDate) = 1
THEN #InDate
ELSE NULL
END
return #return
END
You could use TRY_CAST or TRY_CONVERT if value cannot be cast it will return NULL.
SELECT
TRY_CAST('20170228' AS DATETIME),
TRY_CAST('170228' AS DATETIME),
TRY_CONVERT(DATETIME, '20170228'),
TRY_CONVERT(DATETIME, '170228')
This works for SQL Server 2012 and newer.
I am trying to get data after year 2012.
Date is saved in nvarchar format in a table. For example: 12/31/2010
Column also has some other values like 'Confidential', I don't want this row.
I am trying a query (shown below) but it is not succeed :-
select *
from tbl_ProductionWells
where CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), wellstatusdate, 103) > CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), '01/01/2012', 103)
Edited :-
I tried this :-
SELECT *
FROM tbl_ProductionWells
WHERE DATEPART(YEAR, CAST(wellstatusdate AS date)) > 2012
But it is giving an error (shown below), This column also has some text values like 'not available','Confidential' .. :-
Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
Note:- I can't change column datatype as it also contains some other texts.
Thanks in advance
First of all: Store date values in DATE columns, datetimes in DATETIME2 columns. Always choose proper data type for your data
You have to convert your NVARCHAR to DATE, then compare it to 2012-01-01
OR you can extract the 'year' part of your string.
SELECT *
FROM tbl_ProductionWells
WHERE CONVERT(DATE, wellstatusdate) >= '2012-01-01'
The best choice is to change your column's data type to DATE. After that, you can do lots of magicial things with those values. Store the 'Confidental' flag in another column.
EDIT
Some additional info:
Please note, that the STRING -> DATE conversion depends on the current session's language.
Run this batch to see the difference:
DECLARE #DateAsChar VARCHAR(32) = '01/02/12';
SET LANGUAGE us_english
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(32), CONVERT(DATE, #DateAsChar), 120)
SET LANGUAGE Hungarian
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(32), CONVERT(DATE, #DateAsChar), 120)
SET LANGUAGE Deutsch
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(32), CONVERT(DATE, #DateAsChar), 120)
How about:
WITH cte
AS ( SELECT *
FROM tbl_ProductionWells
WHERE ISDATE(wellstatusdate) = 1
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE DATEPART(YEAR, CAST(wellstatusdate AS DATE)) > 2012
Select all data from the table that is a date using IsDate, then work with that dataset only.
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT * FROM tbl_ProductionWells WHERE ISDATE(wellstatusdate) = 1)
WHERE CAST(wellstatusdate as Date) > #YOURDATE
I want to convert a varchar value that iI set up to a date time value. I want to load rows of a database into another database, but conversion is not going well.
This is my query:
select Krant
, cast(jaar as varchar(4))+'-'
+RIGHT('0'+cast(maand as varchar(2)),2)+'-'
+RIGHT('0'+cast(dag as varchar(2)),2) as datum
, Inhoud as artikel
, LEN(Inhoud)-LEN(Replace(Inhoud,' ','')) as numwords
, 'Goirle' as vestiging
from [Sitecore_Bibliotheekmb_Krantenknipsel].[dbo].[KRANGOI]
The cast to Datum has to be a datetime value, but i am not getting it to work properly. When i tried to cast to datetime it gave me an out of range exception.
These are the results of this query:
alt text http://94.100.115.48/837450001-837500000/837478801-837478900/837478868_5_dE_7.jpeg
I want the "Datum" field to be a Datetime field with the same values but in Datetime format. Could anyone help me please :).
Thanks,
Younes
Use this:
select Krant, cast(cast(jaar as varchar(4))+'-'
+RIGHT('0'+cast(maand as varchar(2)),2)+'-'
+RIGHT('0'+cast(dag as varchar(2)),2) as datetime) as datum,
Inhoud as artikel,
LEN(Inhoud)-LEN(Replace(Inhoud,' ','')) as numwords,
'Goirle' as vestiging
from [Sitecore_Bibliotheekmb_Krantenknipsel].[dbo].[KRANGOI]
You are not casting the Varchars to a Datetime
CAST and CONVERT on MSDN.
Can you try this:
SELECT CAST(('2010' + '-' + '01' + '-' + '06') AS DATETIME)
If any of your dates are earlier than 1753, a simple datetime type will not be sufficient. For this, you'd need to use the datetime2 datatype introduced in SQL Server 2008.
Also check that all values of maand and dag are valid days and months.
