SQL Server 2008: display time in hh:mm format

Question

I have a time field in a table that I would like to display in a view in hh:mm format. What is the easiest way to do this?

Answer 1

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), GETDATE(), 108)

RESULT:  13:19

For Time values

DECLARE @TimeField TIME = CAST(GETDATE() AS TIME);

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), @TimeField, 108)

RESULT:  13:21
