Description

The OraTimeStamp object represents the Oracle TIMESTAMP and Oracle TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE data types and provides methods for operations on these two Oracle data types. The OraTimeStamp represents a date time value that stores the following information: year, day, hour, minute, second, and nanosecond.

Remarks

The OraTimeStamp object is created by the OraSession.CreateTimeStamp method or by calling the Clone method on an existing OraTimeStamp object.

An OraTimeStamp object can be bound using the ServerTypes ORATYPE_TIMESTAMP and ORATYPE_TIMESTAMPLTZ. This allows the binding of a value to a parameter associated with an Oracle TIMESTAMP or an Oracle TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE datatype in a SQL or PL/SQL statement respectively.

When binding a string associated with an TIMESTAMP, or an TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE datatypes, the ServerType must be specified to be a string type (for example, ORATYPE_VARCHAR2, ORATYPE_STRING) and the string must be in the format specified by NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT.
