Take the time from the datetime and convert it into seconds?

Question

I am running SQL Server 2005. Technically I know how to take the time from a tsql datetime.

CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),108) AS HourMinuteSecond

Answer 1

Just my 2 cents ...another way of doing this

Edit: Added method for SQL Server 2005 (Thank you Michael)

for SQL Server 2008

SELECT DATEDIFF(SECOND, CONVERT(date, GETDATE()), GETDATE())

for sql server 2005+

SELECT DATEDIFF(SECOND, DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE())), GETDATE())
