How can I restrict a SQLite result set based on date range?

I've got a column / class member of type DateTime in my class/SQLite table.

However, both this query:

SQL

SELECT * FROM PhotraxBaseData WHERE dateTimeTaken >= '11/11/2009' AND dateTimeTaken <= '11/11/2014'

-and this one:

SQL

SELECT * FROM PhotraxBaseData WHERE dateTimeTaken BETWEEN '11/11/2009' AND '11/11/2014'

...return no records. Both of these seem to be accepted syntax-wise (they run without error), but return "(0 items)" in LINQPad, even though there are multiple records between those dates.

What query do I need to get the correct subset of data?

Hi,

Try the following

SELECT * FROM PhotraxBaseData WHERE dateTimeTaken BETWEEN CONVERT(DATETIME,'2009-11-11') AND CONVERT(DATETIME,'2014-11-11');

In your example, you are checking the string value with the datetime variable so it may not gives the correct answer..

While using Datetime Checking in sql , consider that the given date format is in YYYY-mm--dd format -- it avoids the confusion to user and sql server system...

For Sql Lite:

SELECT * FROM PhotraxBaseData WHERE dateTimeTaken BETWEEN '2009-11-11' AND '2014-11-11'

SQL LITE does not support the data type DATETIME .

But in your Query you have to change the date format from 'dd-mm-yyyy' to 'yyyy-mm-dd'
this is the standard date format which is understand by SQL.

Refer the following link regarding SQL LITE Data types..

Try Like this.

SQL

SELECT * FROM PhotraxBaseData 
WHERE strftime('%d/%m/%y', dateTimeTaken ) BETWEEN '11/11/2009' AND '11/11/2014'

That also returns no records in LINQPad; I'll try it later on the actual SQLite data.

Hi,

I couldn't see any error in the statement, i checked with a sample model and its working fine...

I think it may be sometime the SQLite Datetime settings format is keeping rely with your system/ laptop date format...

Please check the Datetime format or you can convert the '11/11/2014' to Datetime object and then check the same condition...

Thanks,
