    Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.

    Declare @StartDate Datetime

    set @StartDate =convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 101)+(CAST(DATEPART(hh,(SELECT [Value] FROM tbltime WHERE NAME='TIME')) AS VARCHAR) +':'+ CAST(DATEPART(mi,(SELECT [Value] FROM tbltime WHERE NAME='TIME')) as VARCHAR) +':'+ CAST(DATEPART(ss,(SELECT [Value] FROM tbltime WHERE NAME='TIME')) AS VARCHAR)+CAST(DATEPART(ss,(SELECT [Value] FROM tbltime WHERE NAME='TIME')) AS VARCHAR))

  • You didn't seperate the date and time part with a space. And in the last part of your query you are using the "DATEPART(ss,...)" twice and you are also not seperating these two with a ".". This will result in a notation like "2013-08-29 14:04:5959" and that string cannot be converted to the datetime format of the variable.

  • Here is the corrected statement:

    SET @StartDate = convert(VARCHAR(10), getdate(), 101)

    + ' ' + (CAST(DATEPART(hh, (SELECT [Value] FROM tbltime WHERE NAME='TIME')) AS VARCHAR)

    + ':' + CAST(DATEPART(mi, (SELECT [Value] FROM tbltime WHERE NAME='TIME')) AS VARCHAR)

    + ':' + CAST(DATEPART(ss, (SELECT [Value] FROM tbltime WHERE NAME='TIME')) AS VARCHAR)

    -- unmark the line below if you want to display the miliseconds in the result

    --+ '.' + CAST(DATEPART(ms, (SELECT [Value] FROM tbltime WHERE NAME='TIME')) AS VARCHAR)

    )

  • It's as easy as this:

    SELECT format(getdate(), 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss')
