There's a problem with that web page. The ISO standard separates date and time with exactly 'T' or 't'. Anything with 'date<space>time' isn't part of ISO-8601. Byt the SQLite documentation page has the following two statements: (A) The date and time functions use a subset of IS0-8601 date and time formats. (B) The datetime() function returns "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" They can't both be restrictively true. I looked up on the web a few expressions of ISO-8601 including the one I know best: RFC3339. Only one used the lower-case 't' in its own example, and then only as a comment that it was allowed, which I actually find doubtful. None of them used a space in its own examples, although there does seem to be an agreement that the ability to express a space is needed for human-readable output. It's a pain in the arse that one has to pay for copies of the ISOs. What do they think we're paying them for ? The nearest the ISO offers to this one is http://www.iso.org/iso/date_and_time_format Simon. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
