I want to retrieve some data from sqlite database. I used the following query for that pupose

C#

SELECT * FROM tableName

It works fine for me
But I want to retrieve data on the basis of date as following

C#

SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE date=09-09-2013

This query shows no result, because date column in Sqlite database contains dates like

VB

1378307780519
1378350490627
1378381805222
1378383415433
1378387764681

I do not know what format of date it is.
Any one tell me how I can retrieve data according to user provided date just like

09-09-2013 or 09/09/2013

How user provided date can be compared with sqlite database date and data can be retrieved on the basis of that date

Thanks in Advance

Looks to me like you are storing your datetime in your database as an epoch time so you would nee to convert the epoch time to the datetime format you want.

The SQLite date and time functions page[^] should help you out.

I'm guessing the numbers you have in your database are UNIX epoch with milliseconds - removing the final three digits gives me a recent date and time:

sqlite> select datetime(1378307780519 / 1000, 'unixepoch');
2013-09-04 15:16:20

sqlite> select datetime(1378350490627 / 1000, 'unixepoch');
