    Hi, anybody knows if I have a table with a datetime column in SQL 2005, what would be the SQL statement(s) that would let me classify those records based on the hour

    For example if the hour of the datetime column is between

    6:30 and 9:00 print 'Morning'

    But if its between

    20:30 and 23:59 print 'Night'

    Thanks in advance

    Use a case and datepart.

    select case when datepart(hh,getdate()) between 6 and 11 then 'morning'

    WHEN datepart(hh,getdate()) = 12 THEN 'noon'

    WHEN datepart(hh,getdate()) BETWEEN 13 and 17 THEN 'afternoon'

    end

    etc.
