NAME

       DateTime::Format::DateParse - Parses Date::Parse compatible formats

SYNOPSIS

	   use DateTime::Format::DateParse;

	   my $dt = DateTime::Format::DateParse->parse_datetime( $date );
	   my $dt = DateTime::Format::DateParse->parse_datetime( $date, $zone );

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a compatibility wrapper around Date::Parse.

USAGE

   Import Parameters
       This module accepts no arguments to it's "import" method and exports no symbols.

   Methods
       Class Methods

       o   parse_datetime($date [, $zone])

	   Accepts a Date::Parse compatible $date string and optionally a Time::Zone compatible $zone string.

	   Returns a DateTime object.

GOTCHAS

       o   If parse_datetime is called on a $date that doesn't know specify a timezone and $zone is not set, then the timezone of the returned
	   DateTime object will be set to the "local" timezone.  This is consistent with the behavior of Date::Parse.

       o   If parse_datetime is called without a $zone but the $date string does specify a timezone/offset or if parse_datetime is called with a
	   $zone that DateTime::TimeZone does not understand, the returned DateTime object will have it's timezone set to a fixed offset from UTC.
	   This means that "DST" information is not available and date math will not reflect "DST" transitions.  This may be resolved for true
	   timezones by using the DateTime::TimeZone::Alias module to "alias" the Time::Zone timezone to an Olson DB name.  This may be done
	   automatically in a future release.

NAME

       DateTime::Format::SQLite - Parse and format SQLite dates and times

SYNOPSIS

	 use DateTime::Format::SQLite;

	 my $dt = DateTime::Format::SQLite->parse_datetime( '2003-01-16 23:12:01' );

	 # 2003-01-16 23:12:01
	 DateTime::Format::SQLite->format_datetime($dt);

DESCRIPTION

       This module understands the formats used by SQLite for its "date", "datetime" and "time" functions.  It can be used to parse these formats
       in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a timestring accepted by SQLite.

       NOTE: SQLite does not have real date/time types but stores everything as strings. This module deals with the date/time strings as
       understood/returned by SQLite's "date", "time", "datetime", "julianday" and "strftime" SQL functions.  You will usually want to store your
       dates in one of these formats.

METHODS

       This class offers the methods listed below.  All of the parsing methods set the returned DateTime object's time zone to the UTC zone
       because SQLite does always uses UTC for date calculations.  This means your dates may seem to be one day off if you convert them to local
       time.

       o   parse_datetime($string)

	   Given a $string representing a date, this method will return a new "DateTime" object.

	   The $string may be in any of the formats understood by SQLite's "date", "time", "datetime", "julianday" and "strftime" SQL functions or
	   it may be in the format returned by these functions (except "strftime", of course).

	   The time zone for this object will always be in UTC because SQLite assumes UTC for all date calculations.

	   If $string contains no date, the parser assumes 2000-01-01 (just like SQLite).

	   If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.

       o   parse_date($string)

       o   parse_time($string)

       o   parse_julianday($string)

	   These are aliases for "parse_datetime", for symmetry with "format_*" functions.

       o   format_date($datetime)

	   Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returnes a string in the format YYYY-MM-DD, i.e. in the same format SQLite's "date" function
	   uses.

       o   format_time($datetime)

	   Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returnes a string in the format HH:MM:SS, i.e. in the same format SQLite's "time" function
	   uses.

       o   format_datetime($datetime)

	   Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returnes a string in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, i.e. in the same format SQLite's
	   "datetime" function uses.

       o   format_julianday($datetime)

	   Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returnes a string in the format DDDDDDDDDD, i.e. in the same format SQLite's "julianday"
	   function uses.
