Kexi/Plugins/Queries/SQL Constants

From KDE Community Wiki

Date constants

(since 3.1.1, Bug #393094)

Grammar - two versions:

  • ISO format (KEXI default, recommended)
#yyyy-mm-dd#
  • US format (for compatibility, based on MSA default [1])
#mm/dd/yyyy#

Notes:

  • Both formats are not dependent on regional settings on the OS, they are always interpreted the same way
  • All digits are required, including trailing zeros and century; e.g. #2018-4-15# and #18-11-11# are both invalid dates
  • MSA's format such as #24 Dec 2014# is not supported.

Time constants

Grammar - two versions:

  • Full
#hh:nn:ss#
  • Short
#hh:nn#

Date/Time constants

(since 3.1.1, Bug #393094)

Grammar:

#{date} {time}#

Where {date} is defined as for Date literals and {time} is defined as for Time literals.
