Solution 1

Use only time part by converting convert(varchar,getdate(),108)
this will only store the time portion of your datetime string

In sql why dont you take simply varchar type and
check the following example to save only time, it may help you :

C#

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
        string srt= String.Format("{0:T}", dt);

this return time only from datetime as: 11:53:08 am

Solution 5

There is no native way to save only the time component in an SQL database. You will have to save it with the date, and then when you retrieve it you can use the T-SQl time[^] keyword.

Hope this helps
