Extract time from datetime column along with AM or PM
select MyDate from X
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR,mydate,108) from X....this only gets the time part but not AM or PM. I need both.
Thanks

Here's how but I need to know... why do you need to do this type of formatting in SQL?

SELECT STUFF(RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),GETDATE(),109),14),9,4,'')

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
