These may be used for parsing and formatting dates.
So is there an SQLite feature to accept floating point numbers with a decimal comma instead of the English (and programming language standard) point? After all, why doesn't SQLite accept a Russian translation of all those SQL commands? Not even considering the code page issues (see Unicode comments above)... I also agree that a database should just stick to standard representation of data, not to user-specific or local. The time-to-string function is useful for selecting and grouping. You can group by a day of all months, for example. But the best knowledge about interpreting a local date representation is surely still in your application, not in any database system. -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <nospam.l...@unclassified.de> Visit my web laboratory at http://beta.unclassified.de _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
