NAME
Time::Piece::DB2 - Adds DB2-specific methods to Time::Piece
SYNOPSIS
use Time::Piece::DB2;
my $time = localtime;
print $time->db2_date;
print $time->db2_time;
print $time->db2_timestamp;
my $time = Time::Piece->from_db2_date( $db2_date );
my $time = Time::Piece->from_db2_time( $db2_time );
my $time = Time::Piece->from_db2_timestamp( $db2_timestamp );
DESCRIPTION
Using this module instead of, or in addition to Time::Piece
adds a few DB2-specific date/time methods to Time::Piece
objects.
OBJECT METHODS
db2_date
db2_time
db2_timestamp
Returns the date and/or time in a format suitable for use by DB2.
CONSTRUCTORS
from_db2_date
from_db2_time
from_db2_timestamp
Given a date, time, or timestamp as returned from DB2, these constructors return a new Time::Piece object.
BUGS
Time::Piece
itself only works with times in the Unix epoch, this module has the same limitation. However, DB2 itself handles date and timestamp columns from '1000-01-01'. Feeding in times outside of the Unix epoch to any of the constructors has unpredictable results.
