Question

How can I get the total minute for sql datetime?

Let’s say:

select getdate() from table

In this way, I will get everything, but I only want to get total minute. For eg,
if the time is 07:10:35, I want 430.

How to achieve that?

The value from the field is 01-01-2001 07:10:40
The result I want is 430 ((7*60)+10) only.

Here’s a sample:

DECLARE @dt datetime 
SET @dt = '01-01-2001 07:10:20'
SELECT DATEDIFF(MINUTE, DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, @dt), 0), @dt)
