Hi everyone, I am trying to generate a time information with the time zone offset information in the UTC format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmm+HH:MM with the last HH and MM referring to the offset of the timezone hours and minutes from the GMT. My table is created using the following queries CREATE TABLE TwoTimes(localTime datetime, GMTTime datetime); Rows are inserted using the following sql statement insert into twoTimes(localtime,gmttime) values(strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%f','now','localtime'),strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H :%M:%f','now','utc','+5 minutes')); I have written a query of this type to get most of the information. select strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%f',localtime) || quote((strftime('%s',localtime) - strftime('%s',gmttime))/3600) || ':' || quote((abs((strftime('%s',localtime) - strftime('%s',gmttime)))%3600)/60) from twotimes
I have the problem of getting the "+" sign ('-' comes through the calculation itself) and having two digit Hours and minutes for the timezone offset. Anyone has done a similar method of implementing.
