Question

I have the following fields

1> WorkName - Varchar

2> TimeStap 

I wanted to create a Table with the above fields.

1. What will be the TimeStamp datatype

2. How can I insert timestamp values to the table.

3. What will the timestamp value while inserting data or how to fetch the timestamp.

I have worked on SQLite but don’t have any experience on adding TimeStamp as a field to the table & adding values to that.

What kind of CREATE & INSERT statements should I use?

Answer 1

There are limited datatypes available in a Sqlite Database, so the one I find useful for dates is integer – this will accept long values (dynamically adjusts its size) so for dates store the milliseconds value of a date and the date can be easily reconsituted when reading the millisecond values back out of the database.
