|||1) update cir_temp_user_info

2) update cir_temp_user_info
set time1 = convert(datetime, convert(char(10), getDate(), 108))

number 1 is kinda working ......it has trim the time off , but its not displaying the correct format for the date.....i want 12/05/2005 but its displaying 12/5/2005 is there a way to change this.............
number 2 is not working at all........i want only the time (hh:mm) but its displaying the default date and secs....is there a way to correct this ...........anyone ??

|||Is there any reason why you want to separate the Date and Time parts?Normally, the datetime is split into date and time part in the frontend which is a GUI issue. When it comes to storing it in the db, itsusually datetime type.
