Question

How to you display a date in the following format with lower case am or pm? MM/DD/YYYY h:mm a

I've searched in Stack Overflow, but no one seems to ask for this exact format. I am close, but I can't get the seconds to hide:

declare @X datetime
set @X = '2012-01-25 05:24:05 pm' --this needs to show as 01/25/2012 5:24 pm

select LOWER(CONVERT(varchar(10), @X, 101) + ' ' + 
SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar(26), @X, 109), 13, 8) + ' ' + 
SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar(26), @X, 109), 25, 2))

Answer 1

Try this:

declare @X datetime
set @X = '2012-01-25 05:24:05 pm' --this needs to show as 01/25/2012 5:24 pm

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @X, 101) + RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(100), @X, 100),CHARINDEX (' ',REVERSE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(100), @X, 100))))

Result:

01/25/2012  5:24PM

Remark: There is missing space between AM/PM and minutes. If it is improtant use this:

declare @X datetime
declare @stringX varchar(100)
set @X = '2012-01-25 05:24:05 pm' --this needs to show as 01/25/2012 5:24 pm

SELECT @stringX = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @X, 101) + RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(100), @X, 100),CHARINDEX (' ',REVERSE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(100), @X, 100))))

SELECT LEFT (@stringX, LEN(@stringX)-2) + ' ' + LOWER(RIGHT(@stringX, 2))

Result:

01/25/2012 5:24 pm

DECLARE @d datetime, @t time
SET @d = GETDATE()
SET @t = CAST(@d AS time)

SELECT 
    (
        CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @d, 101) +
        ' ' +
        SUBSTRING(CONVERT(nvarchar(15), @t, 100), 1, CHARINDEX('M', CONVERT(nvarchar(15), @t, 100), 1) - 2) +
        ' ' +
        SUBSTRING(CONVERT(nvarchar(15), @t, 100), CHARINDEX('M', CONVERT(nvarchar(15), @t, 100), 1) - 1, 2)
    )
