I am trying to debug this INSERT but I am not having much luck. Why is sqllite trying to cast my datetime to an int?? The database schema is expecting a datetime object. Is there a way to see the insert command text as it is sent to the db?

Here is a look at the Types that I am trying to insert:

public string Uid { get; private set; }
public string Application { get; private set; }
public string EventName { get; private set; }
public string ClientToken { get; private set; }
public string Version { get; private set; }
public DateTime DateTime { get; private set; }
public string Data { get; private set; }

Here is the an example of the insert:

INSERT INTO DATAOUT (id, uid,
application, eventname, clienttoken,
version, datetime, data) VALUES (‘
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000′,’123abcd’,’My
Application’,”,’Test

The last value is a JSON string. The dateTime field is apparently the problem (7th param). For the example above I just added the text ‘1/1/2011’. The code is constructing the insert via the parameters. The datetime parameter has a valid date in the debugger.

When I inspect the parameter,”dateTimeParam” the debugger shows dbType = Int32. What’s up with that?

UPDATE

Removed the quotes around the parameters in the insert statement. It results in the string literals, @paramname to be inserted.
Thanks!

My guess is you don’t have quotes around @dateTimeParam in query, and query parser assumes it is an int.

What really bugs me though is why you surround parameters by quotes at all.

Try this:

var command = new SQLiteCommand (
   "INSERT INTO DATAOUT (id, uid, application, eventname, clienttoken, version, datetime, data)" +
    " VALUES (@idParam, @userIdParam, @applicationNameParam, @eventNameParam, @clientTokenParam, @versionParam, @dateTimeParam, @dataParam)",
    Connection);

UPDATE

I have no idea what is causing the issue. I tried to mimic this code. Does this help?

var command = new SQLiteCommand (
    "INSERT INTO DATAOUT (id, uid, application, eventname, clienttoken, version, datetime, data)" +
    " VALUES (@idParam,@userIdParam,@applicationNameParam,@eventNameParam,@clientTokenParam,@versionParam,@dateTimeParam,@dataParam)",
    Connection);

command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@idParam", insertData.ID);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@userIdParam", insertData.Uid);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@applicationNameParam", insertData.Application);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@eventNameParam", insertData.EventName);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@clientTokenParam", insertData.ClientToken);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@versionParam", insertData.Version);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dateTimeParam", insertData.DateTime);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dataParam", insertData.Data);

command.ExecuteNonQuery();
