I am trying to get extract the month from a DATETIME field in SQLite. month(dateField) does not work as well as strftime(\'%m\', dateStart)>
DATETIME
month(dateField)
strftime(\'%m\', dateStart)>
I guess strftime('%m', dateStart) is not working for you because dateStart variable is date/datetime type.
strftime('%m', dateStart)
Then you must use:
strftime('%m', date(dateStart))
