How to compare two dates in SQLite?

Question

I kind of assumed it was a string, so I compared it as a string, but not surprisingly it failed. I believe thats how it works in Mysql. I could be wrong as I haven\'t worked on

Answer 1

Sqlite can not compare dates directly. we need to convert them in seconds as well as integer also.

Example

SELECT * FROM Table  
WHERE  
CAST(strftime('%s', date_field)  AS  integer) <=CAST(strftime('%s', '2015-01-01')  AS  integer) ;
