Question

I have a column in sql that is an INT and I have to convert it to time.

I’ve tried

         CONVERT (VARCHAR, columnA / 600000)
   + ':'
   + RIGHT ('00' + CONVERT (VARCHAR, c_columnA % 60), 2)

but that’s not the result. Any idea’s how the data might be being casted?

Here a sample of the data:

INT |TIME
4680001|13:00
4680001|13:00
4596001|12:45
3846001|10:41
4320001|12:00

Answer 1

It’s already in the comments but I’ll post this as an answer:

If you ignore the trailing 1, the value could be hundredths of a second since midnight –

e.g. select dateadd(ms,384600 * 100,'19000101') gives 19000101 10:41

or as a query:

DECLARE @t TABLE
(i INT, t VARCHAR(5))
INSERT @t (i,t)
VALUES (4680001,'13:00'),
(4680001,'13:00'),
(4596001,'12:45'),
(3846001,'10:41'),
(4320001,'12:00')

SELECT DATEADD(s,i/100,'19000101'), t
FROM @t
