I am new Sql server 2005.Could you ppl give me idea for querry to have format of HH:MM:AM/PM (say 11:57:AM)
I tried this querry,but i need a colon to be inserted after minute
declare @date datetime
set @date = '20:01'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), @date, 108) + ' ' +
SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR(19), @date, 100),18,2)

Not sure it's the best way to do it but this works:

declare @date datetime
set @date = '20:01'
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), @date, 108) + ' ' +
SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR(19), @date, 100),18,2), ' ', ':')

SELECT SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE(), 9), 13, 5)
+ ':' + SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), GETDATE(), 9), 25, 2) AS TIME

select stuff(right('0'+ltrim(right(CONVERT(varchar(20),getdate(),100),7)),7),6,0,':')

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

Always use datetime datatype to store data and do the formation at the front end application
