Hi all I am using odbc from win32 extensions to connect to MS SQL Server. I use mx.DateTime to handle dates. When I select a datetime column from the database, odbc returns something called a DbiDate object. I cannot find out any information on this type, but mx can convert it to a mx.DateTime object using DateTimeFrom(), which is really all that I need.
I am looking into changing from mx.DateTime to using the builtin datetime type, but I cannot figure out how to convert a DbiDate object to a datetime object. First prize would be to have a datetime constructor that takes a DbiDate object as input, in the same way that mx does, but this does not seem to exist. Second prize would be to extract the year/month/day elements from the DbiDate object, and construct the datetime object manually. However, if I try dir(d), where d is a DbiDate object, I get an empty list, so I cannot even see how to extract the elements. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how?
