The document discusses five date and time functions in SQLite: 1) date(), 2) time(), 3) datetime(), 4) julianday(), and 5) strftime(). It provides examples of how to use each function to retrieve or format dates and times in different ways. Modifiers can be added to manipulate the date or time values. The julianday() function returns the number of days since November 24, 4713 BC, and strftime() allows formatting dates according to a given format string.

Date Functions Date Functions

• The time string can be followed by zero or more modifiers that alter show the current date date(timestring, modifier,
date and/or time. SELECT date('now') AS Today; modifier, ...)
• Each modifier is a transformation that is applied to the time value to its
left.
• Modifiers are applied from left to right; order is important
• e.g.,
SELECT datetime('now');
datetime(timestring, modifier, modifier, ...) datetime(timestring,
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS modifier, modifier, ...)
