Answer : how can I get only the time from a datetime column that stores a bunch of datetimes

If you just want hours and minutes:

SELECT substring(CONVERT( varchar, yourfield, 100), 13, 7) from yourtable

if you want hours, minutes and seconds

SELECT stuff(substring(convert(varchar, yourfield, 109),13,100),9, 4, '') from yourtable
