Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date(3)

NAME
Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date - Date column metadata.

SYNOPSIS
  use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date;

  $col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date->new(...);
  $col->make_methods(...);
  ...

DESCRIPTION
Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for date columns in a database. Column metadata objects store information about columns (data type, size, etc.) and are responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values.

This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column. Inherited methods that are not overridden will not be documented a second time here. See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for more information.

METHOD MAP

"get_set"
    Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, date, "interface => 'get_set', ..."

"get"
    Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, date, "interface => 'get', ..."

"set"
    Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, date, "interface => 'set', ..."

See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for an explanation of this method map.

OBJECT METHODS

parse_value DB, VALUE
    Convert VALUE to the equivalent DateTime object. VALUE maybe returned unmodified if it is a valid date keyword or otherwise has special meaning to the underlying database. DB is a Rose::DB object that is used as part of the parsing process. Both arguments are required.

time_zone [TZ]
    Get or set the time zone of the dates stored in this column. TZ should be a time zone name that is understood by DateTime::TimeZone.

type
    Returns "date".
