`Convert mySQL Query to SQLite Using SUM and GROUP BY - mysql

Question

I am working on a mobile app that is currently using an ajax call to run a mySQL query remotely and return the data as an array. I want to run the query locally using SQLite 3 an iPad. Below is the mySQL query. I am having trouble getting the query to work in SQLite
This is my working mySQL Query
SELECT
expense_date.expenseDate,
expenses.cost,
SUM(expenses.cost) as total,
expenses.name,
category.category
FROM expenses
INNER JOIN category ON expenses.catID = category.catID
INNER JOIN expense_date ON expenses.dateID = expense_date.dateID
WHERE expense_date.expenseDate BETWEEN '#from#' AND '#tu#'
AND expenses.catID != '1F27C7A1-3E16-5087-A313-A47D286A77A5'
AND expenses.catID != 'DF64C183-5056-A816-1ACA94F902242B61'
AND expenses.userID = '#userID#'
AND expenses.accountID = '#accountID#'
Group By expense_date.expenseDate
UPDATED MySQL Statement. This statement works in mySQL but not in SQLite 3.
SELECT
expense_date.expenseDate,
SUM(expenses.cost) as total
FROM expenses
INNER JOIN expense_date ON expenses.dateID = expense_date.dateID
WHERE expense_date.expenseDate
BETWEEN '2014-08-01' AND '2014-08-31'
AND expenses.catID != '1F27C7A1-3E16-5087-A313-A47D286A77A5'
AND expenses.catID != 'DF64C183-5056-A816-1ACA94F902242B61'
AND expenses.userID = 'C4C73329-5056-A816-1AB4B9FAE08FDB77'
AND expenses.accountID = '46298719-C78A-4CCE-8ADD-A3FD948DF93E'
Group By expense_date.expenseDate
This is the results of the query. 2014-08-21 has two values for that date: 2000.00 and 372.00 but they are added together and returned as a single value for 2014-08-21.
2014-08-01 32.00
2014-08-16 15.00
2014-08-19 513.55
2014-08-21 2372.00
2014-08-22 525.00
2014-08-25 34.55
2014-08-27 52.78
2014-08-31 30.00
I need to convert the MySQL query code to SQLite. I did a google search and found some info about using CASE but I am not sure how to construct the sql statement. Your help is appreciated

Answer 1

Your SQL query actually doesn't make sense in MySQL, because several of the selected values are indeterminate. You might try something like this:
SELECT ed.expenseDate, SUM(e.cost) as total,
group_concat(e.name) as names,
group_concat(c.category) as categories
FROM expenses e INNER JOIN
category c
ON e.catID = e.catID INNER JOIN
expense_date ed
ON e.dateID = ed.dateID
WHERE ed.expenseDate BETWEEN '#from#' AND '#tu#' AND
e.catID <> '1F27C7A1-3E16-5087-A313-A47D286A77A5' AND
e.catID <> 'DF64C183-5056-A816-1ACA94F902242B61' AND
e.userID = '#userID#' AND
e.accountID = '#accountID#'
Group By ed.expenseDate;

Answer 2

This is the SQLite sql statement that solved my problem.
SELECT expense_date.expenseDate,
SUM(expenses.cost) AS total
FROM expenses INNER JOIN expense_date ON expenses.dateID = expense_date.dateID
WHERE expense_date.expenseDate BETWEEN '"+from+"' AND '"+tu+"'
AND expenses.catID <> '1F27C7A1-3E16-5087-A313-A47D286A77A5'
AND expenses.catID <> 'DF64C183-5056-A816-1ACA94F902242B61' Group By expense_date.expenseDate
Thanks for everyones help.
