ok so i have fixed that using the for loop result_proxy=connection.execute(stmt).fetchall() for a in result_proxy: test=datetime.date.fromordinal(int(a.date_applied))
Now if i want to pass a range of date to date_applied above. How to i do that? I know in sql i did did it like this rate.columns.date_applied.between(covert,convert1) where convert and convert1 are the range of date cheers, On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 4:47 AM, Dennis Lee Bieber <wlfr...@ix.netcom.com> wrote: > On Wed, 25 Apr 2018 13:43:15 +1100, sum abiut <suab...@gmail.com> > declaimed > the following: > > >Thanks date example is 736788 in julian > > > > Okay... > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_day#Julian_or_ > Gregorian_calendar_from_Julian_day_number > > Using a calculator program based upon Duffett that converts to > > -2695.03205 > > or > midnight, Mar 20, 2696BC > (there is no year 0, so BC dates convert with a 1 year delta... 1BC is > 0.xxx) > > Note that datetime.date.fromordinal() is counting from > Jan 1, 1AD; it > is NOT Julian Day which counts from noon Jan 1, 4713BC > > Treating your number as an ordinal gives > > >>> import datetime > >>> datetime.date.fromordinal(736788) > datetime.date(2018, 4, 4) > >>> > > ...
