MySQL query to extract time in a format without seconds

For this, you can use time_format(). Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1326
   -> (
   -> Arrivaltime time
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.50 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1326 values('12:10:45');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1326 values('20:00:00');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1326 values('22:45:55');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1326 values('04:10:24');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1326;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------+
| Arrivaltime |
+-------------+
| 12:10:45    |
| 20:00:00    |
| 22:45:55    |
| 04:10:24    |
+-------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to extract time without seconds −

mysql> select time_format(Arrivaltime,'%H:%i') from DemoTable1326;

This will produce the following output −

+----------------------------------+
| time_format(Arrivaltime,'%H:%i') |
+----------------------------------+
| 12:10                            |
| 20:00                            |
| 22:45                            |
| 04:10                            |
+----------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
