How do I insert and query a DateTime object in SQLite DB from C# ?
- by Soham
Hi All,
Consider this snippet of code:
string sDate = string.Format("{0:u}", this.Date);
Conn.Open();
Command.CommandText = "INSERT INTO TRADES VALUES(" + "\"" + this.Date + "\"" + "," +this.ATR + "," + "\"" + this.BIAS + "\"" + ")";
Command.ExecuteNonQuery();
Note the "this.Date" part of the command. Now Date is an abject of type DateTime of C# environment, the DB doesnt store it(somewhere in SQLite forum, it was written that ADO.NET wrapper automatically converts DateTime type to ISO1806 format)
But instead of this.Date when I use sDate (shown in the first line) then it stores properly.
My probem actually doesnt end here. Even if I use "sDate", I have to retrieve it through a query. And that is creating the problem
Any query of this format
SELECT * FROM <Table_Name> WHERE DATES = "YYYY-MM-DD"
returns nothing, whereas replacing '=' with '' or '<' returns right results.
So my point is:
How do I query for Date variables from SQLite Database.
And if there is a problem with the way I stored it (i.e non 1806 compliant), then how do I make it compliant
