-This way, you can use date/timestamps from Python without any additional
-fiddling in most cases. The format of the adapters is also compatible with the
-experimental SQLite date/time functions.
+.. note::
 
-The following example demonstrates this.
+   The default adapters and converters are deprecated as of Python 3.12.

-.. literalinclude:: ../includes/sqlite3/pysqlite_datetime.py
+The deprecated default adapters and converters consist of:
 
-If a timestamp stored in SQLite has a fractional part longer than 6
-numbers, its value will be truncated to microsecond precision by the
-timestamp converter.
+* An adapter for :class:`datetime.date` objects to :class:`strings <str>` in
