Hi,
Imagine I have a field called field1 as varchar(50)
Let's say it coontains seconds i.e. 173136.67
This should represent (173136.67/3600) = 48.09 hours
How can I convert to day:hour:min:sec
i.e. 02:??:??...

At present I am using the following query but it shows an incorrect result
select LEFT(RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(23), DATEADD(SECOND, 173136.67, 0), 121), 12),8)
shows: 00:05:36

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

[code]
select convert(varchar(10), datediff(day, 0, dateadd(second, 173136.67, 0)))
+ ':' +
convert(varchar(10), dateadd(second, 173136.67, 0), 108) as ddhhmmss
[/code]

declare @t decimal(5,2)
set @t=48.09
select DATEDIFF(DAY,0,DATE),CONVERT(char(12),date,108) from
(
select DATEADD(second,cast(@t as int)*3600+(@t*100%100)*60,0) as date
) as t
