sql server - Converting a time into 12 hour format in SQL

Question

How can i convert 24 hour formatted time into 12 hour formatted time in SQL server 2008?

Answer 1

Do you have the current time in a variable/column of type time? If so, it's easy:

declare @t time
set @t = '14:40'

select CONVERT(varchar(15),@t,100)

result:

2:40PM

If it's in a datetime(2) variable, then you'll have to strip out the date portion after running the CONVERT. If it's in a string, then first CONVERT it to time, then use the above code.
