I am trying to update a datetime column in an android sqlite db to use international date format (yyyy-mm-dd) instead of the current format (mm/dd/yyyy). I want to use the sqlite date() function to reformat the current value of the column. I thought it would be as simple as the following:

update tblename set thedate = date(thedate)

but the above does not work.

How would i write the sql statement to accomplish this?

thanks patrick
