It doesn't seem to work that way. I have 192330 distinct dttm entries, but I 
still only get 1 row. It seems as the “date(dttm)” result is either null or the 
empty string for all records. Not sure why. This works in other databases, so 
there must be something subtle about the “date()” function or the “dttm” column 
that im missing here.

 

sqlite> select date(dttm) as dt,max(used_kb)/1024.0/1024.0 from foo group by dt 
order by 1;

|5038.83195495606

sqlite> select count(distinct dttm) from foo;

192330

I fear I might be missing something obvious, but wouldn't this just do the job?:

SELECT date(dttm) AS dt, max(i)

  FROM foo

 GROUP BY date(dttm)

 

If you still get only 1 row, it means there is only 1 date value in all the 
rows in your table.
