Example 2:

Consider a database table called Sample with the following records:

Data	Hour	Minute	Second
Data 1	5	50	10
Data 2	6	40	20
Data 3	7	30	30
Data 4	8	20	40
Data 5	9	10	50

To create a time based on values of column Hour, column Minute and column Second, the following query can be used:

SELECT *, MAKETIME(Hour, Minute, Second) AS MAKETIME_Value FROM Sample;

This will produce the result as shown below:

Data	Hour	Minute	Second	MAKETIME_Value
Data 1	5	50	10	5:50:10
Data 2	6	40	20	6:40:20
Data 3	7	30	30	7:30:30
Data 4	8	20	40	8:20:40
Data 5	9	10	50	9:10:50
