Hi,

I'm having trouble finding the right format to insert a time value only into a datetime field in SQL server. Trying to use

INSERT INTO table_name VALUES ('10:00')

Yields a datetime with a value of 01-Jan-1900 10:00:00 AM. I just want the time part, not the date!

Cheers,
Matt

it is a DATETIME field. It stores the Date and Time. Let it do that.

Don't try to change the way SQL Server stores it's data, leave your formatting to the presentation layer where you can just display the time part.
