Convert MySQL time from HH:MM:SS to HH:MM

To convert, use MySQL TIME_FORMAT(). Let us first create a −

mysql> create table DemoTable1419    -> (    -> ArrivalTime time    -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.78 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command. Here, we have inserted time records −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1419 values('12:30:45'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1419 values('11:00:55'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.45 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1419 values('09:59:34'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

Display all records from the table using select −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1419;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------+ | ArrivalTime | +-------------+ | 12:30:45    | | 11:00:55    | | 09:59:34    | +-------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to convert MySQL time from HH:MM:SS to HH:MM −

mysql> select ArrivalTime,time_format(ArrivalTime,'%H:%i') from DemoTable1419;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------+----------------------------------+ | ArrivalTime | time_format(ArrivalTime,'%H:%i') | +-------------+----------------------------------+ | 12:30:45    | 12:30                           | | 11:00:55    | 11:00                           | | 09:59:34    | 09:59                           | +-------------+----------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.05 sec)
