Date Class
Date Class
The Date class specifies the abstraction for a SQL DATE data item. The Date class
also adds formatting and parsing operations to support the OCCI escape syntax for
date values.
Since SQL92 DATE is a subset of Oracle Date, this class can be used to support both.
To create a null Date object, use the syntax:
Date();
To create a copy of a Date object, use the syntax:
Date(const Date &a);
To create a Date object using integer parameters, where:
Variable Value
year -4712 to 9999, except 0
month 1 to 12
day 1 to 31
minutes 0 to 59
seconds 0 to 59
use the syntax:
Date(const Environment *envp,
int year = 1,
unsigned int month = 1,
unsigned int day = 1,
unsigned int hour = 0,
unsigned int minute = 0,
unsigned int seconds = 0);
Objects from the Date class can be used as standalone class objects in client side
numerical computations and also used to fetch from and set to the database.
