How to Select only Date Hour and Minutes from 2017-09-27 15:39:36.000

Question

I have a column in my table (having value- 2017-09-27 15:39:36.000).

I want to select only Date, Hour, Minutes (i.e:- 2017-09-27 15:39) from column.

Can anyone please tell me how to select.?

What is the data-type of that column? datetime, datetime2 or something else. — Salman A, Sep 28 '18 at 05:58
Do you want to _display_ the output you showed us, or do you want to zero out the seconds component? These are not the same thing. — Tim Biegeleisen, Sep 28 '18 at 06:01

One option would be to use CONVERT with a mask matching the format you want:

SELECT CONVERT(varchar(16), GETDATE(), 120)

2018-09-28 07:58

Demo

We convert to varchar(16) explicitly so that only the hour and minute components are retained.

Use the FORMAT function to format the date:

SELECT FORMAT(CAST('2017-09-27 15:39:36.000' AS DATETIME), 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm')
-- 2017-09-27 15:39

Use the datepart function which can extract specific parts of the date value.
