A number of people have asked me about the best way to develop some cool new web app for UNIX.COM.
In today's "very easy web dev" world, developers do not need to be burdened (like I am) to the "back end" of the site. The best way to develop web apps is to build the application on your desktop... (2 Replies)
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.
