In the SQLite documentation , it says you can get the current date by running the query
SELECT date('now');
and indeed it works in the SQLite command line:
sqlite> SELECT date('now');
2012-03-03
However, when I try to use it in a Python program, the same query doesn't work:
import sqlite3
conn=sqlite3.connect('results.db')
c=conn.cursor()
c.execute('SELECT date(now);')
says no such column: now
.
Any suggestions?
You're missing quotes around now
.
Try c.execute("SELECT date('now');")
Are you missing some ticks? Do c.execute('SELECT date(\\'now\\');') works?
The 'now' literal can be omitted. If the date() function has no parameters, the 'now' string is assumed. So the script can be written as follows:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sqlite3 as lite
con = lite.connect(':memory:')
with con:
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT date()")
today = cur.fetchone()[0]
print today
$ ./today.py
