Hi,
I have below TableA in database under SQL SERVER 2008 R2
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableA](
[Server] [nvarchar](256) NULL,
[DatabaseName] [nvarchar](256) NULL,
[BackupStartDate] [varchar](20) NULL,
[BackupFinishDate] [varchar](20) NULL,
[File_Size] [float] NULL,
[Time] [numeric](10, 2) NULL,
[Physical_Name] [varchar](500) NULL,
[BackupsetName] [nvarchar](356) NULL
)
How can we convert the Time which is present in minutes under TableA to the format Hours:Minutes
I was using the below conversion but it was giving values more than 60 after decimal point. I need to have values to be displayed under TobeConverted Column or Time Column in the Hour:Minutes Format
SELECT
[Time],
[Time]/60 +([Time]%60 ) as TobeConverted
FROM [dbo].[TableA]
GO
Time_Took TobeConverted
0.00 0.000000
0.02 0.020333
0.02 0.020333
0.07 0.071166
0.02 0.020333
10.55 10.725833
0.12 0.122000
37.10 37.718333
1.00 1.016666
Please let me know.
Thank You,

Thank You,
Look at your output, you are wanting character data and you have created a math addition of two values. The whole thing you have going on just isn't really going to get you what you are trying. I think something like the following is pretty close to what you want.
declare @Time numeric(9,2)
set @Time = 59.87
--set @Time = 97.10
select @Time/60 +(@Time%60 ) , @Time / 60, @Time % 60
select cast(@Time as int) / 60 as hours, @Time % 60 as minutes, cast(cast(@Time as int) / 60 as varchar(10)) + ':' + cast(cast(@Time % 60 as int) as varchar(2))
This is pretty ugly being forced to convert to int and varchar but it will get you what you want. Not really sure why you are storing this is a numeric when you say it is minutes and you in effect ignoring everything after the decimal point.

This code worked for me.
SELECT
[Time],
cast(cast([Time]/60 as int) as varchar) + ':' + CAST(CAST([Time]%60 as int) as varchar) as 'hr:mm'
FROM [dbo].[TableA]
GO
Thank You very much for your help

Forgetting about the table issues, here is a way to convert minutes to hh:mm format:
declare @time numeric(10,2)
set @time = 97.10
select convert(char(5),dateadd(minute,@time,0),8)
Of course, dateadd takes an integer for the increment, so your numeric will be implicitly converted to an integer and you may want to control the rounding yourself before passing the value to dateadd....
MM

Hi
Just looking at your code there, I know the time in sysjobhistory is poked. It requires a lot of calcs to be done.
If you are in fact working out some backup times.
Looks in msdb for
backupset
backupmedia
backupmediafamily
Those tables have all the data you need to backup reports and have been around since 2k.
They also have history post sysjobhistory.
FYI
Cheers
Jannie
