NAME
Time::Piece::MSSQL - MSSQL-specific methods for Time::Piece
VERSION
version 0.022
SYNOPSIS
use Time::Piece::MSSQL;
my $time = localtime;
print $time->mssql_datetime;
print $time->mssql_smalldatetime;
my $time = Time::Piece->from_mssql_datetime( $mssql_datetime );
my $time = Time::Piece->from_mssql_smalldatetime( $mssql_smalldatetime );
DESCRIPTION
This module adds functionality to Time::Piece, providing methods useful for using the object in conjunction with a Microsoft SQL database connection. It will produce and parse MSSQL's default-format datetime values.
METHODS
mssql_datetime
mssql_smalldatetime
These methods return the Time::Piece object, formatted in the default notation for the correct MSSQL datatype.
from_mssql_datetime
my $time = Time::Piece->from_mssql_datetime($timestring);
from_mssql_smalldatetime
my $time = Time::Piece->from_mssql_smalldatetime($timestring);
These methods construct new Time::Piece objects from the given strings, which must be in the default MSSQL format for the correct datatype. If the string is empty, undefined, or unparseable, undef
is returned.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This module saves less time than Time::Piece::MySQL, because there are fewer strange quirks to account for, but it becomes useful when tied to autoinflation of datatypes in Class::DBI::MSSQL.
