Hello,

I'm looking to do something completely in SQLite, without the assistance of
Perl.

The problem is this:

I have a table with a text column, and the column contains unix timestamps.
I would like to get a list of the unique years from that timestamp column.

Here's what the raw dataset looks like:

1|blopez|somekinda.log|2010-07-10 13:21:10|10.100.0.1|make_db.pl
|usage_reporter()
2|blopez|somekinda.log|2010-09-28 06:18:51|10.100.0.1|make_db.pl
|usage_reporter()
3|blopez|somekinda.log|2010-06-28 17:58:37|10.100.0.1|make_db.pl
|usage_reporter()
4|blopez|somekinda.log|2011-06-28 17:58:37|10.100.0.1|make_db.pl
|usage_reporter()

What I'd like to do is write a query that would return "2010" and "2011",
the two unique years in the listing.

It's pretty easy to get all records which match a single year, for example:

SELECT id FROM data WHERE datetime(date) LIKE '2010%';

I'm sure I could use a BEGIN/COMMIT block and test for each year
individually, but I don't want to hard-code the year that I'm looking for,
if you get my meaning.

Any assistance on this would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Bobby
