we have a data with employee numbers who enter the office during different times in the day.

We want to categorize employees coming between 6:30 to 12:30 as Shift1 and 12:31 to 5 PM as Shift 2 and display stats of number of employees coming in Shif1 and Shift2

How to write a query for the same,

Sample Data:
Emp No Time
100 6:30
101 8:00
102 14:00

Regards,
Jyothi
