OracleIntervalYM Structure

The OracleIntervalYM structure represents the Oracle INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH data type to be stored in or retrieved from a database. Each OracleIntervalYM stores a period of time in years and months.

Class Inheritance

System.Object

  System.ValueType

    Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OracleIntervalYM

Declaration

// C#
public struct OracleIntervalYM : IComparable

Requirements

Provider ODP.NET, Unmanaged Driver ODP.NET, Managed Driver
Assembly Oracle.DataAccess.dll Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll
Namespace Oracle.DataAccess.Types Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Types
.NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 4.0, 4.5

Thread Safety

All public static methods are thread-safe, although instance methods do not guarantee thread safety.

Example

// C#
 
using System;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
 
class OracleIntervalYMSample
{
  static void Main()
  {
    OracleIntervalYM iYMMax = OracleIntervalYM.MaxValue;
    double totalYears = iYMMax.TotalYears;
 
    totalYears -= 1;
    OracleIntervalYM iYMMax_1 = new OracleIntervalYM(totalYears);
    
    // Calculate the difference
    OracleIntervalYM iYMDiff = iYMMax - iYMMax_1;
    
    // Prints "iYMDiff.ToString() = +000000001-00"
    Console.WriteLine("iYMDiff.ToString() = " + iYMDiff.ToString());
