# DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Informix(3pm)

Base Storage Class for Informix Support

## NAME

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Informix - Base Storage Class for Informix Support

## DESCRIPTION

This class implements storage-specific support for the Informix RDBMS

## METHODS

### connect\_call\_datetime\_setup

Used as:

```
  on_connect_call => 'datetime_setup'
```

In connect\_info to set the `"DATE"` and `"DATETIME"` formats.

Sets the following environment variables:

```
    GL_DATE="%m/%d/%Y"
    GL_DATETIME="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%F5"
```

The `"DBDATE"` and `"DBCENTURY"` environment variables are cleared.

**NOTE:** setting the `"GL_DATE"` environment variable seems to have no effect after the process has started, so the default format is used. The `"GL_DATETIME"` setting does take effect however.

The `"DATETIME"` data type supports up to 5 digits after the decimal point for second precision, depending on how you have declared your column. The full possible precision is used.

The column declaration for a `"DATETIME"` with maximum precision is:

```
  column_name DATETIME YEAR TO FRACTION(5)
```

The `"DATE"` data type stores the date portion only, and it **MUST** be declared with:

```
  data_type => 'date'
```

in your Result class.

You will need the DateTime::Format::Strptime module for inflation to work.
