time format in SQL Server

You can use a combination of CONVERT, RIGHT and TRIM to get the desired result:

SELECT ltrim(right(convert(varchar(25), getdate(), 100), 7))

The 100 you see in the function specifies the date format mon dd yyyy hh:miAM (or PM), and from there we just grab the right characters.

You can see more about converting datetimes here.

You can use the CONVERT function like this:

SELECT CONVERT(varchar, your_datetime, 108)

However, this is 24-hour clock, no AM/PM.
