The OracleTimeStampTZ structure represents the Oracle TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data type to be stored in or retrieved from a database. Each OracleTimeStampTZ stores the following information: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, nanosecond, and time zone.

Class Inheritance

Declaration

// C#
public struct OracleTimeStampTZ : IComparable, INullable, IXmlSerializable

Requirements

Thread Safety

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

Example

// C#
 
using System;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
 
class OracleTimeStampTZSample
{
  static void Main()
  {
    // Set the nls parameters for the current thread
    OracleGlobalization info = OracleGlobalization.GetClientInfo();
    info.TimeZone = "US/Eastern";
    info.TimeStampFormat = "DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS.FF AM";
    info.TimeStampTZFormat = "DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS.FF AM TZR";
    OracleGlobalization.SetThreadInfo(info);
    
    // Create an OracleTimeStampTZ in US/Pacific time zone
    OracleTimeStampTZ tstz1=new OracleTimeStampTZ("11-NOV-1999 "+
      "11:02:33.444 AM US/Pacific");
      
    // Note that ToOracleTimeStampTZ uses the thread's time zone region,
    // "US/Eastern"
    OracleTimeStamp ts = new OracleTimeStamp("11-NOV-1999 11:02:33.444 AM");
    OracleTimeStampTZ tstz2 = ts.ToOracleTimeStampTZ();
    
    // Calculate the difference between tstz1 and tstz2
    OracleIntervalDS idsDiff = tstz1.GetDaysBetween(tstz2);
    
    // Display information
    Console.WriteLine("tstz1.TimeZone = " + tstz1.TimeZone); 
    
    // Prints "US/Pacific"
    Console.WriteLine("tstz2.TimeZone = " + tstz2.TimeZone); 
    
    // Prints "US/Eastern"
    Console.WriteLine("idsDiff.Hours = " + idsDiff.Hours); // Prints 3
    Console.WriteLine("idsDiff.Minutes = " + idsDiff.Minutes); // Prints 0
  }
