.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module understands the formats used by \s-1DB2\s0 for its \s-1DATE,
TIME,\s0 and \s-1TIMESTAMP\s0 data types.  It can be used to parse
these formats in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a
DateTime object and produce a string representing it in the \s-1DB2\s0
format.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
This class offers the following methods.  All of the parsing methods
set the returned DateTime object's time zone to the floating time
zone, because \s-1DB2\s0 does not provide time zone information.
.IP "\(bu" 4
parse_time($string)
.IP "\(bu" 4
parse_date($string)
.IP "\(bu" 4
parse_timestamp($string)
.Sp
Given a value of the appropriate type, this method will return a new
\&\f(CW\*(C`DateTime\*(C'\fR object.  The time zone for this object will always be the
floating time zone, because by \s-1DB2\s0 stores the local datetime, not
\&\s-1UTC.\s0
.Sp
If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.
.IP "\(bu" 4
format_date($datetime)
.IP "\(bu" 4
format_time($datetime)
.IP "\(bu" 4
format_timestamp($datetime)
.Sp
Given a \f(CW\*(C`DateTime\*(C'\fR object, this methods returns an appropriately
formatted string.
