Hi,
Thanks for the big help.
Finally I got it worked as expected and the sql statement below to return the
format as: #device local time = MON JUL 28 10:57:30 2008.
Another question that I have is to set this select statement in the variable so
I can repeated to print out the variable again and again in different section
without repeat the long select statement
I would like to set the result of below statement to variable so I print it
again without repeating the long select statement. Would you please help.
Thanks,
JP
select '#device local time = ' ||
(case strftime('%w', d) when '0' then 'SUN' when '1' then 'MON' when '2' then
'TUE' when '3' then 'WED' when '4' then 'THUR' when '5' then 'FRI' when '6'
then 'SAT' end) || ' ' ||
(case strftime('%m', d) when '01' then 'JAN' when '02' then 'FEB' when '03'
then 'MAR' when '04' then 'APR' when '05' then 'MAY' when '06' then 'JUN' when
'07' then 'JUL' when '08' then 'AUG' when '09' then 'SEP' when '10' then 'OCT'
when '11' then 'NOV' when '12' then 'DEC' end) || ' ' ||
strftime('%d %H:%M:%S %Y', d,'localtime') || ', '
from (select CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as d) ;

Change strftime('%w', d) to CAST(strftime('%w', d) as INTEGER), and
similarly for strftime('%m', d). strftime returns a string, which
doesn't match any condition in the CASE statement, so the statement
produces NULL, and then the whole expression becomes NULL. To avoid
this, the result of strftime needs to be converted to integer.
And fix smart quotes ‘’ to plain apostrophe '
