Hi Michael, Thx for your reply. I do understand SQLite is typeless. Infact I have already done the YYYY/MM/DD format.
Is that away to have a "DATE" comparison inside SQLite? Or any expression to convert DATE to integer in SQLite? I mean, I don;t have to worry about data migration from other database.

SQLite is typeless, see: http://www.sqlite.org/datatypes.html, paying particular attention to section 3.0 on "comparison and sort order." As a string, "1/1/04" is less than "12/29/03". If you store your dates in YYYY-MM-DD format, they'll sort & compare properly as you would expect.
