Hi,

I am using Sqlite with visual studio .net. I have a table in which a column data type is in datetime when I am using a query for between date it don't giving results. Query listed below:

1) SELECT itm_id, book_acc FROM boo_dmg_lost WHERE boo_date between'9/11/2012' and '9/13/2012'

2)SELECT itm_id, book_acc FROM boo_dmg_lost WHERE (boo_date > '9/23/2012') AND (boo_date < '9/13/2012')

Thanks in advance.

Since the column is of DateTime type, try to compare it with dates and not string:

SQL

--DECLARE @startDate DateTime
--DECLARE @endDate DateTime

--SET @startDate = CONVERT(DateTime, '4/2/2011')

SELECT
  item_id, book_ac
FROM
  boo_dmg_lost
WHERE
  boo_date BETWEEN @startDate AND @endDate

If needed, read about datatype conversion: MSDN: CAST and CONVERT (Transact-SQL)[^]

Its working fine from sqlite but using with .NET its giving error "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime"

use the explicit type conversion

Hi,

Have you checked this discussion[^]?

It looks like your first query is correct, the only problem is with the your date format. try with YYYY-MM-DD format. it will work as expected.

I got the correct result.

First insert query is in the Format of yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.xxxxxx
e.g '2012-09-14 10:00:00.123123' and after that for reading we will have to give
query like this:
SELECT itm_id, book_acc FROM boo_dmg_lost WHERE strftime('%Y-%m-%d', boo_date) BETWEEN '2012-09-14' AND '2012-09-15'
Because simple date format of .Net for inserting date into database is not readable format so we will have to give insert query through given format and then read.

Thank You.
