Question

Using SQL Server 2000

dtptime  - datetimepicker (Format: Custom Format(HH:mm)

Query

insert into table1 values (Convert(varchar(8), '" & dtptime & "', 108))

The above query is inserting a datevalue instead of time. I want to insert a time value only.

When i use a current date (getdate()) means it is inserting correctly, but from datetimepicker it is getting only date, not a time.

How to get only a time.

Need query Help

Answer 1

To insert time only, use the code below:

--8 represents hh:mm:ss
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (CONVERT(CHAR(8),dt,8))

You may see it in action here: https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/q/117721/

Additional Information:

Take a look at MSDN list of conversion codes.

When inserting a time-only value into a datetime field, the date will default to 01-01-1900
