Date Functions in Queries
Let’s utilize the DATE function and > (greater than) operator in SQLite to query for dates greater than a given date. Here’s a basic example:
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE DATE(your_date_column) > '2024-01-01';
In this example:
- your_table is the name of your table.
- your_date_column is the column containing the dates you want to filter.
- ‘2024-01-01’ represents the reference date.
This query will return all rows from your_table where the date in your_date_column is greater than January 1, 2024.
How to Query for all Dates Greater Than a Certain Date in SQLite?
SQLite has become the preferred option for embedded databases mainly because of its lightweight attributes and user-friendliness. SQLite with dates greater than that particular date can be achieved by following the datetime functions that are given by the database engine.
This possibility is extremely convenient in temporal data, i.e. scheduling events, listing activities, and managing timetables. By employing SQL commands effectively, you can efficiently retrieve data that meets specific date criteria. Let’s explore how you can query for dates greater than a certain date in SQLite.
