[R] stfrtime function not returning proper results through sqldf package in R

SQLite only understands certain fundamental data types, and neither Date nor POSIXct types are among them. They get stored as their internal numeric representations.
The internal numeric representations of Date and POSIXct are incompatible. You are sending Dates to SQLite and trying to then interpret it as POSIXct by handing that numeric to strftime.
Note that within R the Date and POSIXct types are made sort-of compatible by internal checking of class attributes that are not stored in SQLite. They are still only sort-of compatible because Date has no concept of time zone and always assumes GMT rather than local time when being converted.
I recommend retrieving the stored Date value as a Date value into R so that strftime can recognize how to interpret it. If you need to handle time as well as date you may find that converting to character first before converting to POSIXct with an appropriate time zone behaves with least surprises.
