Question

Using the windows shell when i try to query the mmssms.db like

sqlite> select address, date, body from sms;

it gives me the date in some weird format, how can i get it in proper Date format. Screen shot is attached.

Answer 1

There is a date(timestring, modifier, modifier, …) function for sqlite, see here – http://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html

or the strftime(format, timestring) looks like it would work better

so something like:

sqlite> select address, strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S’, date), body from sms;
