Igor,

Thank you very much for your reply.

So, since SQLite doesn't have a dedicated date or time type, what does the 
datetime() function return?  Merely a string in a guaranteed format?  I'm sure 
I need to use the datetime() function on both sides of the comparison to ensure 
that I'm comparing apples to apples.  I also changed the format of the string 
my application generates.  The query is now:

delete from trend_data where datetime(value_timestamp) < datetime('2009-04-07  
12:37:32')

It seems to be working.  

But, just for my eduction, does the string in the call to the datetime() 
function have to formatted in the way I have it here?  In SQLiteSpy, I tried 
"select datetime('04-07-2009  12:37:32')"  and "select datetime('2009/04/07  
12:37:32')".  Both of them returned nothing.  

Thanks again!

RobR
