There is a set of embedded functions which implement dates and times using 64 bit floating point numbers. In applications requiring it we have declared types DATE, TIMAE and DATEIME. These are intercepted in a wrapper and implement date and time processing. Alternatively you can use regular ISO1806 date and time formaats as TEXT or use the floaring point and handle dates and times in your application. Sqlite gives you a lot of options when embedding date and time storage and prcessing. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
