The MFC date is stored as a floating point number, the unix date as a long integer. The MFC style date, used through out windows has a maximum date of somewhere around 2038AD. The unix variant goes several thousand years farther.
You could certainly store the float date as a float type field but none of the date functions built into the sqlite engine would work with them. The unix variant will work with sqlite functions. Also, be aware that due to rounding of MFC dates you will occasionally get cases where dates that appear identical will not match because of floating point precision and Microsoft display routines that do not display fractional seconds. --- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I want to store MFC date (CTime or COleDateTime) value in sqlite, but > > don't know what is the best way to store it.
