Get TIME alone from a given date

I see this to be very frequently asked question in dotnetspider.com! Solution to this is to make use of CONVERT function in SQL Server.

--Query will fetch the time portion alone
Select Convert(Varchar, Getdate(), 108)

--Query will fetch the date portion alone.
Select Convert(Varchar, Getdate(), 101)

The last parameter of Convert function is StyleId. Go through books online to know the complete list of parameters and its corresponding output format.

My Wedding Anniversary :)

That's the move that changed my career. Till my schooling, my dream was to either become a "big" sportsman (Cricket and Badminton were my favorites at that time.) or an Aeronautics engineer. Unfortunately, my l...

What should one look @ while buying a land in chennai?

Offlate people have started thinking about investing their money in lands. I too think that to be a wise decision only! As most of us know buying a land in chennai (for that matter any where in the world) isn't an easy affair. I was just wondering what all one needs to look at before deciding to purchase a land. I thought I would put down what ever I know about this subject here. [Guys pls free to correct me if I my understanding is wrong somewhere.

Because to my knowledge its illegal to build residential houses on lands meant for irrigation. 2. Encumberance Certificate -- This is what is shortly refered as "EC". One needs to get an EC from local sub registrar office (i guess we need pay a small amount for this). From this we / our lawyers :) can find out whether the guy who ...

What a coincidence!

Whenever Sai lakshmi (my wife) returns home after staying for few days in my in-laws place it would rain (atleast drizzle) here in Ramavaram. Now its 10:15 PM here in Chennai and its raining. Yes today morning only she came back to our house from my in-laws place :) I know its mere coincidence but I am really surprised this is happening for more than 2 years now :) Have any such coincidence happened in your life?
