How to query last 3 hours in sqflite? - sqlite

Question

I'm trying to query the last 3 hours of entries from my sqflite database. Here's my current query:
Future<List<Map<String, dynamic>>> queryLastThreeHours() async {
Database db = await instance.database;
return await db.query(table, where: '$columnDate = ?', whereArgs: ['now', '-3 hours']);
}
For more context, here's the complete code for the database_helper.dart:
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:path/path.dart';
import 'package:sqflite/sqflite.dart';
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';
class DatabaseHelper {
static final _databaseName = "MyDatabase.db";
static final _databaseVersion = 1;
static final table = 'my_table';
static final columnId = '_id';
static final columnName = 'name';
static final columnAge = 'age';
static final columnColour = 'colour';
static final columnDate = 'date';
// make this a singleton class
DatabaseHelper._privateConstructor();
static final DatabaseHelper instance = DatabaseHelper._privateConstructor();
// only have a single app-wide reference to the database
static Database _database;
Future<Database> get database async {
if (_database != null) return _database;
// lazily instantiate the db the first time it is accessed
_database = await _initDatabase();
return _database;
}
// this opens the database (and creates it if it doesn't exist)
_initDatabase() async {
Directory documentsDirectory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
String path = join(documentsDirectory.path, _databaseName);
return await openDatabase(path,
version: _databaseVersion,
onCreate: _onCreate);
}
// SQL code to create the database table
Future _onCreate(Database db, int version) async {
await db.execute('''
CREATE TABLE $table (
$columnId INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
$columnName TEXT NOT NULL,
$columnAge INTEGER NOT NULL,
$columnColour TEXT NOT NULL,
$columnDate INTEGER NOT NULL
)
''');
}
// Helper methods
// Inserts a row in the database where each key in the Map is a column name
// and the value is the column value. The return value is the id of the
// inserted row.
Future<int> insert(Map<String, dynamic> row) async {
Database db = await instance.database;
return await db.insert(table, row);
}
// All of the rows are returned as a list of maps, where each map is
// a key-value list of columns.
Future<List<Map<String, dynamic>>> queryAllRows() async {
Database db = await instance.database;
return await db.query(table);
}
// All of the methods (insert, query, update, delete) can also be done using
// raw SQL commands. This method uses a raw query to give the row count.
Future<int> queryRowCount() async {
Database db = await instance.database;
return Sqflite.firstIntValue(await db.rawQuery('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $table'));
}
// We are assuming here that the id column in the map is set. The other
// column values will be used to update the row.
Future<int> update(Map<String, dynamic> row) async {
Database db = await instance.database;
int id = row[columnId];
return await db.update(table, row, where: '$columnId = ?', whereArgs: [id]);
}
// Deletes the row specified by the id. The number of affected rows is
// returned. This should be 1 as long as the row exists.
Future<int> delete(int id) async {
Database db = await instance.database;
return await db.delete(table, where: '$columnId = ?', whereArgs: [id]);
}
Future<List<Map<String, dynamic>>> queryOmnivore() async {
Database db = await instance.database;
return await db.query(table, where: '$columnColour = ?', whereArgs: ['Omnivore']);
}
Future<List<Map<String, dynamic>>> queryLastThreeHours() async {
Database db = await instance.database;
return await db.query(table, where: '$columnDate = ?', whereArgs: ['now', '-3 hours']);
}
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to work it out using Sqlite SELECT * for Last 7 days and How to get Last 3 hours data from SQLite, but still haven't figured it out.
Thank you very much in advance!
