Use CURRENT TIMESTAMP when you need it  instead OF NOW    which is MySQL

The way to store dates in SQLite is    yyyy-mm-dd hh mm ss xxxxxx   SQLite also has some date and time functions you can use  See SQL As Understood By SQLite  Date And Time Functions

The format you need is    2007-01-01 10 00 00    i e  yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss  If possible  however  use a parameterised query as this frees you from worrying about the formatting details

This may not be the most popular or efficient method  but I tend to forgo strong datatypes in SQLite since they are all essentially dumped in as strings anyway    I ve written a thin C  wrapper around the SQLite library before  when using SQLite with C   of course  to handle insertions and extractions to and from SQLite as if I were dealing with DateTime objects

You have to change the format of the date string you are supplying in order to be able to insert it using the STRFTIME function   Reason being  there is no option for a month abbreviation    d  day of month  00  f  fractional seconds  SS SSS  H  hour  00-24  j  day of year  001-366  J  Julian day number  m  month  01-12  M  minute  00-59  s  seconds since 1970-01-01  S  seconds  00-59  w  day of week 0-6 with sunday  0  W  week of year  00-53  Y  year  0000-9999          The alternative is to format the date time into an already accepted format    YYYY-MM-DD YYYY-MM-DD HH MM YYYY-MM-DD HH MM SS YYYY-MM-DD HH MM SS SSS YYYY-MM-DDTHH MM YYYY-MM-DDTHH MM SS YYYY-MM-DDTHH MM SS SSS HH MM HH MM SS HH MM SS SSS now    Reference  SQLite Date  amp  Time functions
