NAMEDateTime::Format::DBI - Find a parser class for a database connection.SYNOPSISuse DBI; use DateTime; use DateTime::Format::DBI; my $db = DBI->connect('dbi:...'); my $db_parser = DateTime::Format::DBI->new($dbh); my $dt = DateTime->now(); $db->do("UPDATE table SET dt=? WHERE foo='bar'",undef, $db_parser->format_datetime($dt); DESCRIPTIONThis module finds a "DateTime::Format::*" class that is suitable for the use with a given DBI connection (and "DBD::*" driver).It currently supports the following format modules: IBM DB2 (DB2), Microsoft SQL (MSSQL), MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL (Pg), SQLite, and Sybase. NOTE: This module provides a quick method to find the correct parser and formatter class. However, this is usually not sufficient for full database abstraction. You will also have to cater for differences in the syntax and semantics of SQL datetime functions (and other SQL commands). CLASS METHODSThis module provides a single factory method:
PARSER/FORMATTER INTERFACE"DateTime::Format::DBI" is just a front-end class factory that will return one of the format classes based on the nature of your $dbh.For information on the interface of the returned parser object, please see the documentation for the class pertaining to your particular $dbh. In general, parser classes for databases will implement the following methods. For more information on the exact behaviour of these methods, see the documentation of the parser class.
Parser/formatter classes may additionally define methods like parse_type or format_type (where type is derived from the SQL type); please see the documentation of the individual format class for more information.
