Question

According to the sqlite3 manual, it says the format should be YYYY-DD-MM.
What if i have a variables with 842, 2, 4, and how to convert into the same format?.

I tried with both the functions, strftime, and date, but it is not padding the value ‘0’, if the digit is single.

Example:

'842-2-4'

needs to be converted to

'0842-02-04'.

Answer 1

int yyyy = 842;
int dd = 2;
int mm = 4;

char buf[11];

sprintf(buf,"%04d-%02d-%02d",yyyy,dd,mm);
