Using Alternative SQLite Functions to Replace Transact-SQL's `DATEPART` Function in `sqldf` Queries
The DATEPART function is not supported in sqldf because it is a proprietary function of Transact-SQL, which is used by Microsoft and Sybase. However, you can achieve the same result using other SQLite date and time functions. For example, if your time data is in 24-hour format (which is highly recommended), you can use the strftime('%H', ORDER_TIME) function to extract the hour from the ORDER_TIME column: sqldf("select DISCHARGE_UNIT, round(avg(strftime('%H',ORDER_TIME)),2) `avg order time` from data group by DISCHARGE_UNIT", drv="SQLite") Alternatively, you can add an HOURS column to your data based on the ORDER_TIME column and then use that column in your SQL query:
