I want to ask if there is a 24Hour format in the SQL?

Re: Date Time Format

The answer depends on your DBMS. I know for Oracle the answer is yes:

SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH24:MIS') FROM DUAL;

Thanks for the reply sir, but I want it already formatted in the database itself. Like for example in Microsoft Access, there is a selection of format which I can choose. e.g. "Short Date", "Long Time" etc..
