I'm certainly not a SQlite guru, but >sqlite> select * from sqlite_master where name = 'dly04'; >table|dly04|dly04|1042384|CREATE TABLE dly04(i_stnid integer, >national_identifier varchar2(7), > local_year integer, local_month integer, local_day integer, etc, etc > > I then imported data from work as tab-delimited.
So your fields are text. >sqlite> select local_year, local_month, local_day from dly04 where >(national_identifier = '615HMAK'); > > The last few rows of the query output are... > > 2009| 9| 21 > 2009| 9| 22 > 2009| 9| 23 > 2009| 9| 24 > 2009| 9| 25 > 2009| 9| 26 > 2009| 9| 27 > 2009| 9| 28 > 2009| 9| 29 > 2009| 9| 30 > > So I *KNOW* that there are rows with local_year = 2009. But... ... looking like they contain 2009, but what exactly? >sqlite> select local_year, local_month, local_day from dly04 where >(local_year = 2009); > >...doesn't find any rows at all. This should be a no-brainer that works >in any SQL-compliant implementation. Neither do I get any rows with >alternatives like... > > = '2009' or == 2009 or == '2009' Could you try this: sqlite> select local_year, local_month, local_day from dly04 where local_year like '%2009%'; _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
