Format integer to formatted date in an SQLite select statement

Question

I have an SQLite database within my Android application, which stores dates as integers. These integers are derived from a call to Java.util.Date.getTime();. I

Answer 1

SQLite uses static rigid typing. With static typing, the datatype of a value is determined by its container - the particular column in which the value is stored.

Any value stored in the SQLite database has one of the following storage class:

1. NULL
2. INTEGER
3. REAL
4. TEXT
5. BLOB

so I am not sure what you meant by but the date is stored as a long, unhelpful integer.

For more details please refer to Datatypes In SQLite Version 3. For further information on storing date/time in SQLite please refer to SQL As Understood By SQLite.

I hope this helps.
