    <p>I tend to use:</p> <pre><code>CAST(FLOOR(seconds / 86400) AS VARCHAR(10))+'d ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), DATEADD(SECOND, Seconds, '19000101'), 8) </code></pre> <p>The top part just gets your days as an integer, the bottom uses SQL-Server's convert to convert a date into a varchar in the format HH:mm:ss after converting seconds into a date.</p> <p>e.g.</p> <pre><code>SELECT Formatted = CAST(FLOOR(seconds / 86400) AS VARCHAR(10))+'d ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), DATEADD(SECOND, Seconds, '19000101'), 8), Seconds FROM ( SELECT TOP 10 Seconds = (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Object_ID) * 40000) FROM sys.all_Objects ORDER BY Object_ID ) S </code></pre> <p><strong><a href="http://sqlfiddle.com/#!3/9dbc1/2" rel="noreferrer">Example on SQL Fiddle</a></strong></p> <p><em>N.B. Change</em> <code>CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), DATEADD(..</code> <em>to</em> <code>CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), DATEADD(..</code> <em>to keep the seconds in the result</em></p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>If you don't want seconds and need to round to the nearest minute rather than truncate you can use:</p> <pre><code>SELECT Formatted = CAST(FLOOR(ROUND(Seconds / 60.0, 0) * 60 / 86400) AS VARCHAR(10))+'d ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), DATEADD(SECOND, ROUND(Seconds / 60.0, 0) * 60, '19000101'), 8), Seconds FROM ( SELECT Seconds = 3899 ) S </code></pre> <p>I have just replaced each reference to the column <code>seconds</code> with:</p> <pre><code>ROUND(Seconds / 60.0, 0) * 60 </code></pre> <p>So before doing the conversion rounding your seconds value to the nearest minute</p>

    1. COgreat query, does the fact it drops seconds affect rounding at all?

    3. COYes. It will truncate the duration, so 1 hour, 4 minutes and 59 seconds will show as `0d 01:04`, and won't round up (as it probably should to `0d 01:05`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
