connect_call_datetime_setup¶

Used as:

  on_connect_call => 'datetime_setup'

In connect_info to set the "DATE" and "DATETIME" formats.

Sets the following environment variables:

    GL_DATE="%m/%d/%Y"
    GL_DATETIME="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%F5"

The "DBDATE" and "DBCENTURY" environment variables are cleared.

NOTE: setting the "GL_DATE" environment variable seems to have no effect after the process has started, so the default format is used. The "GL_DATETIME" setting does take effect however.

The "DATETIME" data type supports up to 5 digits after the decimal point for second precision, depending on how you have declared your column. The full possible precision is used.

The column declaration for a "DATETIME" with maximum precision is:

  column_name DATETIME YEAR TO FRACTION(5)

The "DATE" data type stores the date portion only, and it MUST be declared with:

  data_type => 'date'

in your Result class.

You will need the DateTime::Format::Strptime module for inflation to work.
