Hi.

Anyone have any tips on how I can approximate the following:

SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH:MI AM') FROM DUAL; -- Oracle
SELECT TIME_FORMAT(current_time,'%l:%i %p'); -- MySQL

Returned: 10:58 AM

I've found lpad(current_time,5); which gets me 1/3 of the way.
Is there a function I haven't found?

TIA
