Detailed Description

C++ form of SQL's DATE type.

Objects of this class can be inserted into streams, and initialized from SQL DATE strings.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mysqlpp::Date::Date ( const char *  str  )  [inline, explicit]

Initialize object from a C string containing a date.

String must be in the YYYY-MM-DD format. It doesn't have to be zero-padded.

template<class Str>
mysqlpp::Date::Date ( const Str &  str  )  [inline, explicit]

Initialize object from a C++ string containing a date.

This works with any stringish class that declares a c_str() member function: std::string, mysqlpp::String...

See also:
Date(const char*)

mysqlpp::Date::Date ( time_t  t  )  [explicit]

Initialize object from a time_t.

Naturally, we throw away the "time" part of the time_t. If you need to keep it, you want to use DateTime instead.


Member Function Documentation

int mysqlpp::Date::compare ( const Date other  )  const

Compare this date to another.

Returns < 0 if this date is before the other, 0 of they are equal, and > 0 if this date is after the other.

References day_, month_, and year_.

mysqlpp::Date::operator time_t (  )  const

Convert to time_t.

The "time" part of the time_t is "now"

unsigned short mysqlpp::Date::year (  )  const [inline]

Get the date's year part.

There's no trickery here like in some date implementations where you have to add 1900 or something like that.

Referenced by mysqlpp::DateTime::convert().

void mysqlpp::Date::year ( unsigned short  y  )  [inline]

Change the date's year part.

Pass the year value normally; we don't optimize the value by subtracting 1900 like some other date implementations.
