SQLite Order By Date1530019888000

Question

Every record in my SQLite database contains a field which contains a Date stored as a string in the format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'.

Is it possible to query the database to get the record which contains the most recent date please?

Answer 1

you can do it like this

SELECT * FROM Table ORDER BY date(dateColumn) DESC Limit 1

Answer 2

For me I had my query this way to solve my problem

select *  from Table order  by datetime(datetimeColumn) DESC LIMIT 1

Since I was storing it as datetime not date column

Answer 3

When you sure the format of text field is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss (ex.: 2017-01-02 16:02:55), So It works for me simply:

SELECT * FROM Table ORDER BY dateColumn DESC Limit 1

Without any extra date function!
