There is no "date" datatype in SQLite, an das you yourself attest, SQLite is returning exactly whatever was originally inserted.
It is up to your application to define the allowed format for storing datetimes and to provide conversion between the chosen storage format and the presentation to the user. Hint: You could write a user defined function and use that in a check constraint to enforce your chosen format. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] Im Auftrag von Rajat Pal Gesendet: Donnerstag, 02. November 2017 13:24 An: sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org Cc: Joy George Chittilapailly <george.chittilapai...@oracle.com>; Minghua Feng <minghua.f...@oracle.com>; Rohit Udasi <rohit.ud...@oracle.com> Betreff: [EXTERNAL] [sqlite] SQLite DB - DateTime field values are not consistent Hi Team, We have identified an issue with SQLite database which seems to be a potential bug. In SQLite database, All the values of datetime fields are saved as text without any format check. We can save any text value in the datetime column. This behavior is creating problem for us because for different regional settings, datetime values are getting saved in different format. For example, if the regional format is English(United States), the value is saved as "2017-09-21 00:00:00" but if the regional format is Finnish(Finland), the value is saved as "2017-10-27 00.00.00". So some dates have colon(:) as time separator and some dates have dot (.) as time separator. Below query can illustrate the problem: Create Table Table1(TestDate DATETIME); Insert Into Table1 values (datetime('now','localtime')); insert into Table1 values ("2017-11-01 17:31:41"); insert into Table1 values ("2017-11-01 17.32.41"); insert into Table1 values ("Testing"); select * from Table1; Can you please let us know if there is any way we can force the datetime field to have the datetime values in same format only.
