DateTime::Format::DB2 - Parse and format DB2 dates and times

       This module was shamelessly cloned from Dave Rolsky's DateTime::Format::MySQL module.

       Copyright (c) 2005 Jess Robinson.   All  rights  reserved.   This  program  is  free  software;  you  can
       redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.

       This module understands the formats used by DB2 for its DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP data types.  It can be
       used to parse these formats in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and
       produce a string representing it in the DB2 format.

       This class offers the following methods.  All of the parsing methods set the returned DateTime object's
       time zone to the floating time zone, because DB2 does not provide time zone information.

       •   parse_time($string)

       •   parse_date($string)

       •   parse_timestamp($string)

           Given  a  value  of  the appropriate type, this method will return a new "DateTime" object.  The time
           zone for this object will always be the floating time zone, because by DB2 stores the local datetime,
           not UTC.

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

       •   format_date($datetime)

       •   format_time($datetime)

       •   format_timestamp($datetime)

           Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns an appropriately formatted string.
