I’m working on an android project which retrieves information from a database and stores it (using SqLite for Java side).

Here is my request:

String Query = 

"SELECT xxx.APP_ID " + "FROM xxx INNER JOIN yyy ON
xxx.APP_ID = yyy.APP_ID " +

"WHERE date('"+mydate+"') BETWEEN date(xxx.APP_DATEBEGIN) AND date(xxx.APP_DATEEND)
" +

"AND (yyy.USR_ID = " + myid + ") " +

"ORDER BY xxx.APP_DATEBEGIN";

mydate format is : YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS which is the same format with the date in the database.

I execute the same request (Sql server side) with convert which works fine. I think that the keyword date is not available in SqLite.

Is there a another way to do this?

    In SQLite, you do not need to use any function to represent date – just use plain string that contains date: SQLFiddle demo.

    This is in agreement with documentation:

    SQLite does not have a storage class set aside for storing dates and/or times. Instead, the built-in Date And Time Functions of SQLite are capable of storing dates and times as TEXT, REAL, or INTEGER values:

    • TEXT as ISO8601 strings (“YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS”).
    • REAL as Julian day numbers, the number of days since noon in Greenwich on November 24, 4714 B.C. according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
    • INTEGER as Unix Time, the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
