You've posted this in the SQL 2008 forum but you're referring to SQl 2000 - which is it?

Time was only intoduced in the 2008 version, it is not valid in 2000.

you need to Convert/Cast this value in Time to be inserted properly.

whether its 2000 or 2008.

The code works fine for me using SQL Server 2008 R2 although casting it beforehand is still a good idea.

Here's how you can get it back out as AM/PM:

select CONVERT(varchar(15),CAST(timin AS TIME),100) as convtimein, * from show_bus

You need to pay attention to what the error is saying. 😉 The TIME datatype isn't available in SQL Server 2000. Store the time in a DATETIME datatype and format it when you select from it.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
