OracleIntervalDS Structure

The OracleIntervalDS structure represents the Oracle INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND data type to be stored in or retrieved from a database. Each OracleIntervalDS stores a period of time in term of days, hours, minutes, seconds, and fractional seconds.

Class Inheritance

System.Object

  System.ValueType

    Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OracleIntervalDS

Declaration

// ADO.NET 2.0: C# 
public struct OracleIntervalDS : IComparable, INullable, IXmlSerializable

// ADO.NET 1.x: C#public struct OracleIntervalDS : IComparable, INullable

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 OracleIntervalDSSample
{
  static void Main()
  {
    OracleIntervalDS iDSMax = OracleIntervalDS.MaxValue;
    double totalDays = iDSMax.TotalDays;
 
    totalDays -= 1;
    OracleIntervalDS iDSMax_1 = new OracleIntervalDS(totalDays);
    
    // Calculate the difference 
    OracleIntervalDS iDSDiff = iDSMax - iDSMax_1;
    
    // Prints "iDSDiff.ToString() = +000000000 23:59:59.999999999"
    Console.WriteLine("iDSDiff.ToString() = " + iDSDiff.ToString());
  }
