There is no such data type in SQL Server. In SQL Server 2008 we have
been promised a TIME datatype that ranges from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59
(plus milliseconds), but it does not reach 24:00:00, much less go
beyond it.

I would consider that as a display requirement, and store in some
other form such as seconds, converting as needed for display.
