Question

I am trying to retrieve data from the database with the following query:

select * from Oil Where date(DDate)=date('2012-08-07');

where DDate is one of the column in the Oil table with datatype text.I get the Arrayindexoutofboundsexception. I found that it is not returning any value the count is 0.
can anyone help me with this.What i am actually trying is to do is store date value in the table.I couldn’t find which datatype should be used to save date,from the sqlite site is that it doesn’t have a particular datatype for date and time.

Answer 1

SQL Server comes with the following data types for storing a date or a date/time value in the database:

DATE – format YYYY-MM-DD

DATETIME – format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

SMALLDATETIME – format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

select * from Oil Where date(DDate)=date('2012-08-07');

can be

select * from Oil Where DDate='2012-08-07';
