I have the SQL, listed below, what I would like to do is to get the fractions down to two places (0.25), but looking at the convert function it looks like the min is 6. Any ideas?set @message = 'time ' + cast((cast(datediff(ss,@startdate,getdate()) as int)/60) as varchar(12))
Like this?
select 'time ' + cast(cast(cast(datediff(ss,@startDate - 1,getdate()) as int)/60. as numeric(9,2)) as varchar(15))
