Question

Before I rewrite an app I figured it’s best to ask this question first.

With sqlite, is it possible to do a between statement like this?

select * from database where date between '2010-10-01' and '2010-10-31'

As a side question, how do I get the last date of a month in javascript using the above format?

Answer 1

Yes you can (from the docs):

The BETWEEN operator

The BETWEEN operator is logically equivalent to a pair of comparisons. x BETWEEN y AND z is equivalent to x>=y AND x<=z except that with BETWEEN, the x expression is only evaluated once. The precedence of the BETWEEN operator is the same as the precedence as operators == and != and LIKE and groups left to right.

As for your last question, you may want to do the following:

... WHERE your_date >= '2010-10-01' AND your_date < date('2010-10-01', '+1 month')
