DateTime::Format::DB2(User Contributed Perl DocumentatDateTime::Format::DB2(3)NAMEDateTime::Format::DB2 - Parse and format DB2 dates and times
SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::DB2;
my $dt = DateTime::Format::DB2->parse_timestamp( '2003-01-16-23.12.01.300000' );
# 2003-01-16-23.12.01.300000
DateTime::Format::DB2->format_timestamp($dt);
DESCRIPTION
This module understands the formats used by DB2 for its DATE, TIME, and
TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order
to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and
produce a string representing it in the DB2 format.
METHODS
This class offers the following methods. All of the parsing methods
set the returned DateTime object's time zone to the floating time zone,
because DB2 does not provide time zone information.
· parse_time($string)
· parse_date($string)
· parse_timestamp($string)
Given a value of the appropriate type, this method will return a
new "DateTime" object. The time zone for this object will always
be the floating time zone, because by DB2 stores the local
datetime, not UTC.
If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.
· format_date($datetime)
· format_time($datetime)
· format_timestamp($datetime)
Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns an appropriately
formatted string.
SUPPORT
Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email
