Dc + convert(char(8), starttime, 108)

dc is a datetime field

starttime is a text field with a time in it

I want if dc is 20110215 11:00' and startime 12:00

I want it to return 20110215 12:00

what am i doing wrong?

Shorter

DECLARE	@Date DATETIME = '20110215 11:00',
	@Time VARCHAR(5) = '12:00'

-- Peso
SELECT	DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, @Date), @Time)

N 56°04'39.26"
E 12°55'05.63"

Variable declaration with assignment will work from version 2008 onwards only
