How to only keep the time portion of a datetime value (SQL Server)?

Here's what I use to get a HH:MM string:

CONVERT(varchar(5), time_requested, 108)

I'm thinking there may be a more elegant way, even maybe more efficient (see similar question on How to remove the time portion of a datetime value (SQL Server)?).

Requirements:

  • the final result has to be easily convertible to a string (in order to be able to concatenate some field time_created with a field such as date_created ).
  • the following 2 cases must be covered: HH:MM and HH:MM:SS .

  • Declare @D datetime = GetDate()      -- Data Type could be Time as well
    
    Select CONVERT(varchar(8), @D, 108)  -- for HH:MM:SS  11:27:26
    Select CONVERT(varchar(5), @D, 108)  -- for HH:MM     11:27
    

    没有提及,如果2012+你也可以使用Format()

    Declare @D DateTime = '2016-10-22 13:30:25'
    
    Select Format(@D,'HH:mm')         -- 13:30
    Select Format(@D,'hh:mm:ss tt')   -- 01:30:25 PM
    

    This is too long for a comment.

    Your method is fine. It produces a string representation of the value.

    You can also convert to a time data type:

    select cast(time_requested as time)
    

    But note that this is "format-less" -- it contains hours, minutes, seconds, and fractions of seconds. So, your method is probably the better approach.
