Question

i am trying to select some accounts depending on the updating time..

My Table named as account and has columns like createdOn , updatedOn, acountName etc.

Now the date is being stored as string 2012-03-20

How can i make sql query to select diff accounts depending on date.

Here is my code

 public ArrayList<Account> getAllAccountsForReports(Date dateTo, Date dateFrom)
  {
      ArrayList<Account> accounts = new ArrayList<Account>();
      String queryString = "SELECT * FROM MAAccounts WHERE updatedOn = ? BETWEEN updatedOn = ? ORDER BY accountType, accountName";
      Cursor result =  mDb.rawQuery(queryString, new String[]{ dateToDB(dateTo), dateToDB(dateFrom)}); 

Please tell me how can i correct my sql query.

Best Regards

Your BETWEENsyntax is off, what you want is probably;

SELECT * FROM MAAccounts 
WHERE updatedOn 
  BETWEEN ? AND ?
ORDER BY accountType, accountName

Since you’re storing by ‘yyyy-MM-dd’, between should work well using a string.

I wasn’t sure what table name to use since you said it was called account in the question and MAAccounts in the code and the columns are mis-spelled in the question, so of course you need to adapt it to your actual column names.
