Interval Day To Second Data Type
.NET Data Provider for Teradata > Developer's Guide > Data Types > Interval Data Types > Interval Day To Second Data Type

Schema Collections

The Schema collections return metadata for the Advanced SQL Engine objects. The notable metadata columns for the Interval Day-to-Second data type are:

Column Name Description

COLUMN_TYPE

or

DATA_TYPE

Set to INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND.
FORMAT Format assigned to the SQL Engine object.
PROVIDERDBTYPE It is set to TdType.IntervalDayToSecond.
DATETIME_PRECISION The maximum number of digits for the fractional-second component.
INTERVAL_PRECISION The maximum number of digits for the Day component.

Schema Table

The TdDataReader.SchemaTable returns result set metadata. The notable metadata columns for the Interval Day-to-Second data type are:

Column Name Description
NumericPrecision The maximum number of digits for the Day component.
NumericScale The maximum number of digits for the fractional-second component.
DataType System.Type object for the System.TimeSpan structure.
ProviderType Set to TdType.IntervalDayToSecond.
Format Format assigned to the SQL Engine object.
ProviderSpecificDataType System.Type object for the TdIntervalDayToSecond structure.

Configuring Parameters

The following example shows how to configure an Interval Day-to-Second parameter using DbType type declaration and a Base Class Library (BCL) value. The TdParameter.Precision property reflects the maximum number of digits for the Day component and it must be equal to or less than the target SQL Engine object (i.e. Column, Expression, Stored Procedure Parameters and etc.) declaration. The range of values are from One to Four. The TdParameter.Scale property reflects the maximum number of digits for the fractional-second component and it must be equal to or less than the target SQL Engine object (i.e. Column, Expression, Stored Procedure Parameters and etc.) declaration.

Note

The Data Provider will throw an exception if the Day component of the System.TimeSpan value is greater than 9,999 Days.

The Data Provider will throw an exception if the System.TimeSpan.Days property is greater than the maximum permissible value specified by TdParameter.Precision property.

Note

The Data Provider truncates the fractional seconds to the Scale specified.

C#
Copy Code
TdParameter deliveryInterval = new TdParameter();
deliveryInterval.ParameterName = "deliveryDaysAndMinute";

deliveryInterval.DbType = DbType.Object;

// Maximum number of Day digits
deliveryInterval.Precision = 2;

// Maximum number of Fractional-Second digits
deliveryInterval.Scale = 3;

// 9 Days, 12 Hours, 35 Minutes, 3 seconds and 10 milliseconds.
deliveryInterval.Value = new System.TimeSpan(9, 12, 35, 3, 10);

The following example shows how to configure an Interval Day-to-Second parameter using TdType type declaration and a Provider Specific value. It is recommend to always set TdParameter.Precision and TdParameter.Scale properties, however the Data Provider will utilize TdIntervalDayToSecond.Precision and TdIntervalDayToSecond.Scale property values when the TdParameter.Precision and TdParameter.Scale properties are set to zero. .NET Applications can retrieve metadata from the Schema Collections or the Schema Table and apply the metadata to the TdParameter object.

Note

The Data Provider will throw an exception if the Interval Day Component is greater than the maximum permissible value specified by the TdParameter.Precision property.

Note

The Data Provider truncates the fractional seconds to the Scale specified.

C#
Copy Code
TdParameter deliveryInterval = new TdParameter();
deliveryInterval.ParameterName = "deliveryDaysToSecond";

deliveryInterval.TdType = TdType.IntervalDayToSecond;

// Maximum number of digits for the Day component
deliveryInterval.Precision = 2;

// Maximum number of digits for the Fractional-Second component
deliveryInterval.Scale = 6;

// 9 Days, 12 Hours, 35 Minutes, 3 seconds and 10 microseconds  .
deliveryInterval.ProviderSpecificValue = new TdIntervalDayToSecond(9, 12, 35, 3, 10);

Specifying Interval Day To Second as Literal

The syntax for the Interval Day-to-Second Literal is INTERVALsign'dddd hh:mi:ss.ffffff'DAY TO SECOND. Interval Day-to-Second literals consist of the word Interval followed by an optional negative sign, character string literal representation of the number Days (up to 4 digits ranging from 0 to 9999), Hours (2 digits ranging from 00 to 23), Minutes (2 digits ranging from 00 to 59), Seconds (2 digits ranging from 00 to 59) and Fractional-Seconds (up to 6 digits ranging from 0 to 999999) and the phrase Day To Second.

Note

We recommend to always use Parameters in order to take advantage of the SQL Engine's Request Cache.

The following example shows 10 Days, 3 hours, 59 Minutes, 3 seconds and 10 milliseconds represented as Interval Day-to-Second Literal in the Command Text.

C#
Copy Code
using (TdConnection cn = new TdConnection("data source=x;UserId=y;Password=z;"))
{
    cn.Open();
    TdCommand cmd = cn.CreateCommand();

    // Delivery exceeding 10 days, 3 hours, 59 minutes, 3 seconds and 10 milliseconds.
    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Id, orderDate from Order where (CURRENT_DATE - OrderTimestamp) > INTERVAL'10 03:59:03.010'DAY TO SECOND ";

    using (TdDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
    {
        if (reader.HasRows)
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Id={0}", reader.GetInt64(0).ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}

Retrieving Interval Day To Second Data

The following methods and properties return the column or parameter value as a System.TimeSpan structure.

  1. TdDataReader.GetTimeSpan
  2. TdDataReader.GetValue
  3. TdDataReader.GetFieldValue<TimeSpan>
  4. TdParameter.Value
  5. TdParameter.GetValue<TimeSpan>

The following methods and properties return the column or parameter value as a TdIntervalDayToSecond structure.

  1. TdDataReader.GetTdIntervalDayToSecond
  2. TdDataReader.GetProviderSpecificValue
  3. TdDataReader.GetFieldValue<TdIntervalDayToSecond>
  4. TdParameter.ProviderSpecificValue
  5. TdParameter.GetValue<TdIntervalDayToSecond>
C#
Copy Code
using (TdConnection cn = new TdConnection("data source=DS1;UserId=Joe;Password=XY;"))
{
    cn.Open();

    TdCommand cmd = cn.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Id, orderDate, deliveryDaysAndSeconds from Order where deliveryDaysAndSeconds > ?";
    cmd.Parameters.Add("delivery", TdType.IntervalDayToSecond);
    cmd.Parameters[0].Precison = 2;
    cmd.Parameters[0].Scale = 3;
    cmd.Parameters[0].Value = new TimeSpan(10, 3, 59, 3, 10);

    using (TdDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
    {
        if (reader.HasRows)
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine("[TimeSpan] Delivery Days to Second = {0}", reader.GetValue(2).ToString());
                Console.WriteLine("[TdIntervalDayToSecond] Delivery Days to Second = {0}", reader.GetTdIntervalDayToSecond(2).ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}

/* Output:
    [TimeSpan] Delivery Days to Seconds = 11.03:09:00.0000000
    [TdIntervalDayToSecond] Delivery Days to Seconds = 11 03:09:00.000
