This function takes a number of Seconds in BIGINT format and calculations and displays that in a DDD:HH:MM:SS format.
I wrote this because I needed to work out the duration between two datetimes and required the result to be displayed in a Report (VARCHAR (12)) format from a Select statement
To Use:
SELECT dbo.csp_SecondsToDaysHoursMinutesSeconds(DATEDIFF(SS, , )) AS Duration
FROM
Note 1: Time_2 must be > Time_1
Note 2: DDD is the number of days to a maximum of 999

This article by Brian Kelley will give you the core knowledge to data model.
