Part of my SQL statement (an HSQLDB in Base OOo 2.0.3) is this:
MIN( "startTime" )

but that gives a decimal number evan toug the field is Time[TIME] in the table.

I couldn't find anything about a format function in the HSQLDB documentation except a hint that I might be able to use something like CREATE ALIAS TF FOR "java.text.SimpleDateFormat.Formatdate";
but I am not really sure where to put that line.

so, instead, I used
concat(concat(HOUR(MIN( "startTime" )),':'),minute(MIN( "startTime" )))
but... its ugly AND sometimes I get stuff like 13:0.

FYI original qry:
SELECT "startDate", MIN( "startTime" ), "subject", "location", "note" FROM "Appointments" "Appointments" GROUP BY "startDate", "subject", "location", "note"

hints or help?
thanks!

Hello Walter,

said that queries shouldn't alter the original data formats, you can re-format each query's field as you need once your query is opened. Right click on the column header -> Column Format -> Time -> Time Format. That's all. Don't forget to save the changes.

Hope this help,

Franco
