Hi all Attached is a proposed DateTime::Format::Oracle for your comment.
Just a couple of notes for non-Oracle people. Unlike some DBs, Oracle doesn't have a canonical date format. If a date is in a specific format, then the developer can simply supply the preferred format mask when inserting a value into a date column. Oracle doesn't distinguish between date and datetime data. If a user doesn't supply a time, it defaults to 00:00:00. This module expects the NLS_DATE_FORMAT environment variable to be set with the preferred Oracle format for the date. For the average Oracle DBI programmer, this module doesn't really add much value - you can simply set your mask by hand in your SQL. Its target is those who need to write database-agnostic code (say for use with something like DBIx::Class's new transparent date inflation and deflation functionality). Regards Dan Horne
