OracleTimeStampLTZ Structure

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

Class Inheritance

Object

  ValueType

    OracleTimeStampLTZ

Declaration

// C#
public struct OracleTimeStampLTZ : IComparable

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;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
 
class OracleTimeStampLTZSample
{
  static void Main()
  {
    // Illustrates usage of OracleTimeStampLTZ
    // Display Local Time Zone Name
    Console.WriteLine("Local Time Zone Name = " +
      OracleTimeStampLTZ.GetLocalTimeZoneName());
    OracleTimeStampLTZ tsLocal1 = OracleTimeStampLTZ.GetSysDate();
    OracleTimeStampLTZ tsLocal2 = DateTime.Now;
    
    // Calculate the difference between tsLocal1 and tsLocal2
    OracleIntervalDS idsDiff = tsLocal2.GetDaysBetween(tsLocal1);
    
    // Calculate the difference using AddNanoseconds()
    int nanoDiff = 0;
    while (tsLocal2 > tsLocal1)
    {
      nanoDiff += 10;
      tsLocal1 = tsLocal1.AddNanoseconds(10);
    }
    Console.WriteLine("idsDiff.Nanoseconds = " + idsDiff.Nanoseconds);
    Console.WriteLine("nanoDiff = " + nanoDiff);
  }
}
