You need two functions. One converting the numerical number into standard datetime type, then use DATEPARTfunction to get time.

I wouldn't use DATEPART to get the time... you'd have to use it more than once depending on what the expected return would be.

Of course, we don't actually know what the numeric "field" contains nor what the format of the expected time result is, so it's all pure speculation on our part.

MAK... can you be a little bit more clear on the gazinta's?

Replace the ",0" in the DATEADD with the WHOLE date you want to add the time to.

SELECT DATEADD(mi,d.NumericTime/3600000000*60,0)

FROM --This must makes the test data

(SELECT 0 AS NumericTime UNION ALL

SELECT 900000000 UNION ALL

SELECT 1800000000 UNION ALL

SELECT 2700000000) d

Ummm... your original request said "minutes", but the following will give you seconds, as well.

SELECT DATEADD(ss,d.NumericTime/3600000000.0*3600,0)

FROM --This must makes the test data

(SELECT 0 AS NumericTime UNION ALL

SELECT 900000000 UNION ALL

SELECT 1800000000 UNION ALL

SELECT 2710000000) d

And... don't use the following unless you can tolerate up to a second of error...

SELECT DATEADD(ss,d.NumericTime/1000000.0,0)

FROM --This must makes the test data

(SELECT 0 AS NumericTime UNION ALL

SELECT 900000000 UNION ALL

SELECT 1800000000 UNION ALL

SELECT 2710000000) d
