In SQLite, you can use date and time functions to perform operations on dates and times. Here are some commonly used date and time functions and how to use them:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get the current date and time:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    SELECT<\/span> datetime('now'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Get the current date:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      SELECT<\/span> date<\/span>('now'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Get the current time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        SELECT<\/span> time<\/span>('now'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Format date and time:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          SELECT<\/span> strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'<\/span>, 'now'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
            \n
          1. Calculate the difference between dates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            SELECT<\/span> julianday('2022-01-01'<\/span>) -<\/span> julianday('2021-01-01'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
              \n
            1. Perform addition and subtraction operations on dates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              SELECT<\/span> date<\/span>('2022-01-01'<\/span>, '+1 year'<\/span>);\r\nSELECT<\/span> date<\/span>('2022-01-01'<\/span>, '-1 month'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
                \n
              1. Performing addition and subtraction operations on time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                SELECT<\/span> time<\/span>('12:00:00'<\/span>, '+1 hour'<\/span>);\r\nSELECT<\/span> time<\/span>('12:00:00'<\/span>, '-30 minutes'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
                  \n
                1. Compare dates and times:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  SELECT<\/span> datetime('2022-01-01'<\/span>) ><\/span> datetime('2021-01-01'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
