hh:mm:ss to hh:mm sql

Question

I saw similar questions, but somehow it doesn't work for me.

I have cast(arrival as time) which gives me time in hh:mm:ss format, and I want only hh:mm. I tried CONVERT(VARCHAR(5),cast(arrival as time), 108) and I get error.

arrival is datetime

You tried both but once try,

DATE_FORMAT(`date`, '%H:%i')

Let me know, if its working
