The SQLite documentation explicitly refers to Julian Day Number (JDN), as opposed to Julian Date (JD): %J Julian day number http://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html Not to split hairs, but there is a practical differences between a Julian Day Number and a Julian Date: "The Julian date (JD) is the interval of time in days and fractions of a day since January 1, 4713 BC Greenwich noon, Julian proleptic calendar." "The Julian day number (JDN) is the integer part of the Julian date (JD)." http://asa.usno.navy.mil/SecM/Glossary.html#j _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
