Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT(3pm)

NAME

       Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT - Convert Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT <-> strftime Format Strings

SYNOPSIS

	 use Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT qw(oracle2posix posix2oracle);
	 my $strptime = oracle2posix($NLS_DATE_FORMAT);
	 $NLS_DATE_FORMAT = posix2oracle($strftime);

DESCRIPTION

       Convert Oracle's NLS_DATE_FORMAT string into a strptime format string, or the reverse.

   Functions
       oracle2posix
	   Takes an Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT string and converts it into formatting string compatible with "strftime" or "strptime".

	     my $format = oracle2posix('YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'); # '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

	   Character sequences that should not be translated may be enclosed within double quotes, as specified in the Oracle documentation.

	     my $format = oracle2posix('YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS'); # '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S'

       posix2oracle
	   Takes a "strftime" or "strptime" formatting string and converts it into an Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT string. It is possible to create
	   strings which Oracle will not accept as valid NLS_DATE_FORMAT strings.

	     my $format = posix2oracle('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'); # 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'

   EXPORT
       None by default. "oracle2posix" and "posix2oracle" when asked.
