IntervalYM Class

IntervalYM supports the SQL92 datatype Year-Month Interval.

Leading field precision will be determined by number of decimal digits on input.

Table 12-21 Fields of IntervalYM Class

Field Type Description

year

int

Year component. Valid values are -10^9 through 10^9.

month

int

Month component. Valid values are -11 through 11.


Example 12-8 How to Create, Assign Values, and Use an Empty IntervalYM Object through Direct Assignment

This example demonstrates that the default constructor creates a NULL value, and how you can assign a non NULL value to a year-month interval and then perform operations on it:

Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment();

// Create a NULL year-month interval
IntervalYM ym
if(ym.isNull())
   cout << "\n ym is null";

// Assign a non-NULL value to ym
IntervalYM anotherYM(env, "10-30");
ym=anotherYM;

// Now all operations on YM are valid
int yr = ym.getYear();

Example 12-9 How to Create, Assign Values, and Use an IntervalYM Object through ResultSet and toText() method

This example demonstrates how to get the year-month interval column from a result set, add to the year-month interval by using the += operator, multiply by using the * operator, compare 2 year-month intervals, and convert a year-month interval to a string by using the toText() method.

//SELECT WARRANT_PERIOD from PRODUCT_INFORMATION
//obtain result set
resultset->next();

//get interval value from resultset
IntervalYM ym1 = resultset->getIntervalYM(1);

IntervalYM addWith(env, 10, 1);
ym1 += addWith;    //call += operator

IntervalYM mulYm1 = ym1 * Number(env, 10);    //call * operator
if(ym1<mulYm1)    //comparison
   .
   .
string strym = ym1.toText(3);    //3 is the leading field precision

IntervalYM()

IntervalYM class constructor.

Syntax Description
IntervalYM();
Constructs a NULL IntervalYM object. A NULL IntervalYM can be initialized by assignment or calling operator*() method. Methods that can be called on NULL IntervalYM objects are setName() and isNull().
IntervalYM(
   const Environment *env,
   int year  = 0,
   int month = 0);
Creates an IntervalYM object within the specified Environmen.
IntervalDS(
   const IntervalYM &src);
Copy constructor.

Parameter Description
env
The Environment.
year
The year field of the IntervalYM object.
month
The month field of the IntervalYM object.
src
The source that the IntervalYM object will be copied from.


fromText()

This method initializes the interval to the values in inpstr. The string is interpreted using the nls parameters set in the environment.

The nls parameters are picked up from env. If env is NULL, the nls parameters are picked up from the environment associated with the instance, if any.

Syntax

void fromText(
   const string &inpStr,
   const string &nlsParam = "",
   const Environment *env = NULL);
Parameter Description
inpStr
Input string representing a year month interval of the form 'year-month'.
nlsParam
The nls parameters string. If nlsParam is specified, this determines the nls parameters to be used for the conversion. If nlsParam is not specified, the nls parameters are picked up from envp.
env
Environment whose nls parameters will be used.


fromUText()

Creates the interval from the UString specified.

Syntax

void fromUText(
   const UString &inpStr,
   const Environment *env=NULL );

Parameter Description
inpStr
Input UString representing a year month interval of the form 'year-month'.
env
The Environment.


getMonth()

This method returns the month component of the interval.

Syntax

int getMonth() const;


getYear()

This method returns the year component of the interval.

Syntax

isNull()

This method tests whether the interval is NULL. If the interval is NULL then TRUE is returned; otherwise, FALSE is returned.

Syntax

bool isNull() const;


operator*()

This method multiplies the interval by a factor and returns the result.

Syntax

const IntervalYM operator*(
   const IntervalDS &interval
   const Number &val);
