NAME

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Informix - Base Storage Class for Informix Support

DESCRIPTION

This class implements storage-specific support for the Informix RDBMS

METHODS

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.
