Get Hours and Minutes (HH:MM) from date

Question

I want to get only hh:mm from date.

How I can get this?

I have tried this :

CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), getdate(), 108)

Answer 1

Here is syntax for showing hours and minutes for a field coming out of a SELECT statement. In this example, the SQL field is named "UpdatedOnAt" and is a DateTime. Tested with MS SQL 2014.

SELECT Format(UpdatedOnAt ,'hh:mm') as UpdatedOnAt from MyTable

I like the format that shows the day of the week as a 3-letter abbreviation, and includes the seconds:

SELECT Format(UpdatedOnAt ,'ffffd hh:mm:ss') as UpdatedOnAt from MyTable

The "as UpdatedOnAt" suffix is optional. It gives you a column heading equal tot he field you were selecting to begin with.
