Fascinating. What is the Operating System and Version (eg Linux <kernel version> <distribution name> <distribution version> or Windows <version> <build>); SQLite version; interface (C or .snot)?
Does this only affect trips through the platform localtime function within SQLite (that is, if you store GMT/UTC by leaving out the 'localtime' modifier) do you still get regionalized formatting coming back? Or are you providing a misformed timestamp produced by some regional aware function (ie, not forcing a format/region override when retrieving the timestamp-string -- which is a pretty common application level error in my experience)? Note that I cannot get the builtin 'now' or 'localtime' modifiers to return an inconsistent (regionalized) format, but I haven't tried real hard either. --- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume. >-----Original Message----- >From: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users- >[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rajat Pal >Sent: Thursday, 2 November, 2017 06:24 >To: [email protected] >Cc: Joy George Chittilapailly; Minghua Feng; Rohit Udasi >Subject: [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.
