I'm working on a project that just needs to know that its 08:00 or 14:01. I dont need or want to store anything about date.

When I store the time and then try to check it against the current time I'm runnig into problems.

where (timeofevent = Convert(char(19),current_timestamp))

this doesnt work because Convert(char(19),current_timestamp
returns Nov 6 2005 6:39PM when what I need is 6:39PM or 18:39.

I need help getting the current time in that format.

THANKS!

Hello,

This expression give you only the time.

CONVERT (varchar, GETDATE(), 114)
-- this is the result
-- 10:24:55:640

I hope this help you.
