I have a job's start-time as a datetime field in the table.

I'm able to use max/min to get the max/min times taken for the job to start. But I cannot use the average function to get the average starting time for the job over a period.

Any leads on how to go about this in a single sql command w/o temp tables etc.-which i don't have permissions to create...

Hello!

If you are only interested in the time parts, I suggest splitting the time up using the datepart function and going from there. You could experiment with converting the date/time to a float value, then calculating the average, and convert it back.
