How to retrieve the Date part out of a Datetime result column in SQLite?

Question

I have a column of datetime type from which I would like to retrieve only the date. Is there anyway to do this?

Previously it was an epoch value where I convert it t

Answer 1

This works.

SELECT strftime('%d', '2011-04-26')

You can get year, month, day and everything else that is a part of date.

But you must be carefull how you enter those strings.

The format of date is YYYY-MM-DD, so you must enter the string in that format.

It's also case-sensitive. If you want a month, then you should use %m, because if you use %M, it will try to get a minutes, and if you don't have time part in your date, it will throw an error.
