To isolate the time from a given date and timestamp, you can use the built-in date and time functions of your programming language or database system. Here's an example in SQL:

Assuming we have a table called orders with a column called order_date with the datatype datetime:

SELECT CONVERT(TIME, order_date) AS order_time
FROM orders;

This converts the datetime value to a time value, which contains only the time portion of the original value. The result will be a column of only the times for each order.
