Yesterday (March 13) we released an updated beta version.\u00a0 We are getting close to a general release and we’ll know better after the beta testers have had a few days to work with this release.<\/p>\n
On the topic of conversions between LONG and TIME data types we introduced two new Pragmas. You can control how the conversions between a TIME field and a LONG are handled using these PRAGMA settings:<\/p>\n
PRAGMA (‘define(time0=>off)’) or PRAGMA (‘define(time0=>on)’)<\/p>\n
PRAGMA (‘define(sqltime0=>off)’) or PRAGMA (‘define(sqltime0=>on)’)<\/p>\n
Summary of behavior when these pragmas are set on\/off:<\/p>\n
PRAGMA (‘define(time0=>off)’)<\/p>\n
This is the default value. TIME(0) is converted to 1 (TIME:MIDNIGHT), i.e. mid-night to mid-night.<\/p>\n
PRAGMA (‘define(time0=>on)’)<\/p>\n
The compiler generates code to convert TIME(0) to 0 (TIME:NOTIME).<\/p>\n
PRAGMA (‘define(sqltime0=>off)’)<\/p>\n
This is the default value. The compiler does nothing additional for fields of SQL tables having the TIME data type.<\/p>\n
PRAGMA (‘define(sqltime0=>on)’)<\/p>\n
If the TIME value to convert is a field of a FILE, the compiler generates a call to the NULL function. If the result from the NULL() function is TRUE (field has a NULL value), the TIME field is converted to 0 (TIME:NOTIME) value. Otherwise, conversion is controlled by the define(time0) pragma.<\/p>\n
It is easiest to set the PRAGMA to the desired value at the Project level (Project Properties) But PRAGMA directives can be set before any line in your code where TIME value is being used in an expression converting TIME to LONG).<\/p>\n
Related; All SQL drivers have been updated so that a call to NULL(datefield) or NULL(timefield) will return TRUE if they are part of a DATE\/TIME Group, and the corresponding column on the server is NULL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
