I have a DB
with a field type DATE (called TideDATE)
and a field type TIME (one of which is called highFIRST)
How can I format the time fields from displaying 00:00:00 (a 24 hour clock)
to HH:MM am/pm format?
The DATE function has all kinds of neat formatters, but I do not find any
for TIME
In DATE, I would say "g:i A"
If I try it with a TIME field, I get errors!
I HAVE NEVER USED A NEWSGROUP BEFORE, SO I HOPE I HAVE DONE THIS
CORRECTLY...
What type of database are you using? You can probably do this right in
the database. If MySQL you can do the following:
select DATE_FORMAT(time_column, '%h:%i:%s %p') from your_table;
Tests:
mysql> select DATE_FORMAT('2007-07-16 14:19:00', '%h:%i:%s %p');
+---------------------------------------------------+
| DATE_FORMAT('2007-07-16 14:19:00', '%h:%i:%s %p') |
+---------------------------------------------------+
| 02:19:00 PM |
+---------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select DATE_FORMAT('2007-07-16 04:19:00', '%h:%i:%s %p');
+---------------------------------------------------+
| DATE_FORMAT('2007-07-16 04:19:00', '%h:%i:%s %p') |
+---------------------------------------------------+
| 04:19:00 AM |
+---------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
