Connecting to Database using sqlite3 and applying query

import sqlite3
my_path='F:\\testing\\sqlite\\my_db.db' #Change the path of your database  
try:
    my_conn = sqlite3.connect(my_path) # 
except sqlite3.Error as my_error:
  print("error: ",my_error
else:
    print("Connected to database successfully")

try:
    query="SELECT * FROM dt_table" # SQL to use for getting data from table 
    r_set=my_conn.execute(query)  # execute the query using the connection 
    for row in r_set:
        print(row)    # Print each row 
except sqlite3.Error as my_error:
  print("error: ",my_error)

Connecting to Database using SQLAlchemy and applying query

from sqlalchemy import create_engine 
from sqlalchemy.exc import SQLAlchemyError
my_path='F:\\testing\\sqlite\\my_db.db' #Change the path 
try:
  my_conn = create_engine('sqlite:///'+ my_path)
except SQLAlchemyError as e:
  #print(e)
  error = str(e.__dict__['orig'])
  print(error)
  
try:
    query="SELECT * FROM dt_table LIMIT 0,3" # Query to use 
    r_set=my_conn.execute(query)
    for row in r_set:
        print(row)
except SQLAlchemyError as e:
  #print(e)
  error = str(e.__dict__['orig'])
  print(error)

Display all records of today's date

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE date=date('now')"
r_set=my_conn.execute(query)
for row in r_set:
    print(row)

Output ( it will change based on your sql dump and system date value )

('0', '2020-08-19', 'Aug-2020')

For all the queries , the display part remain same and the SQL string query only changes. So in all balance scripts only the query part is shown.

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE date=date('now','-1 day')"

Display all records of tomorrow

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE date=date('now','1 day')"

Display all records of last 2 days ( no future dates )

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE date BETWEEN date('now','-2 day') AND date('now')"

Display all records of next 3 days ( no previous dates )

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE date BETWEEN date('now') AND date('now','3 day')"

Display all records of Previous 10 days to previous 5 days

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE date BETWEEN date('now','-10 day') AND date('now','-5 day')"

Display all records of next 5 days to next 10 days

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE date BETWEEN date('now','5 day') AND date('now','10 day')"

Display all records of current month

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%m',date) = strftime('%m','now')"

Display all records of previous month

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%m',date) = strftime('%m','now','-1 month')"

Display all records of current month till today

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE date BETWEEN strftime('%Y-%m-01','now') and strftime('%Y-%m-%d','now')"

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%m',date)='01'"

For December month

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%m',date)='12'"

Display all records of current year

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%Y',date) = strftime('%Y','now')"

Display all records of the year 2022

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%Y',date) = '2022'"

Display all records of current week

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%W',date) = strftime('%W','now')"

Display all records of previous week

query="SELECT *  FROM dt_table WHERE CAST(strftime('%W',date) AS INTEGER) = CAST(strftime('%W','now') AS INTEGER) - 1 "

Display all records of next week

query="SELECT *  FROM dt_table WHERE CAST(strftime('%W',date) AS INTEGER) = CAST(strftime('%W','now') AS INTEGER) + 1 "

Display all records of first week of the year

query="SELECT *  FROM dt_table WHERE CAST(strftime('%W',date) AS INTEGER) =  1 "

Display all records of working days ( Monday to Friday ) of current week of the year

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%W', date)=strftime('%W','now') and \
       CAST(strftime('%w',date) AS INTEGER) BETWEEN 1 AND 5"

Display all records of working days till today of current week of the year

query="SELECT * FROM dt_table WHERE strftime('%W', date)=strftime('%W','now') and \
