Let the time zone given by user +0530 Therefore its 330 minutes / 13200 seconds
select datetime( StartTime,'unixepoch','+13200.0 seconds') from mytable --- gives you the local time Select datetime( StartTime,'unixepoch')----gives u universal time Where StartTime is an integer(unixtimestamp stored in the database) With Regards Karthick V "Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself" William Faulkner -----Original Message----- From: Lloyd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 10:30 AM To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Subject: [sqlite] Time zone conversion Hi, I would like to implement a time zone independent function. So I get the time zone information from user, and plans to convert the datetime to the time zone specified. To make it clear I give an example here StartTime is stored as an integer in the database select datetime(StartTime,'unixepoch') from mytable; will give the universal time. To get the local time, what I do is- Let the time zone given by user +0530 convert +0530 to seconds, =13200 ((5*60+30)*60), then select datetime(StartTime+13200,'unixepoch') from mytable; But it is not working as I expected. (no result is shown) what could be the reason? Is there any better way for me to achieve the same result?
