NAME

       Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Epoch - Seconds since the epoch column metadata.

SYNOPSIS

         use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Epoch;

         $col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Epoch->new(...);
         $col->make_methods(...);
         ...

DESCRIPTION

       Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for columns in a database that store an integer
       number of seconds since the Unix epoch.  Column metadata objects store information about columns (data
       type, size, etc.) and are responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values.

       This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date. Inherited methods that are not
       overridden will not be documented a second time here.  See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date
       documentation for more information.

METHOD MAP

       "get_set"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, epoch, ...

       "get"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, epoch, ...

       "get_set"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, epoch, ...

       See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for an explanation of this method map.

OBJECT METHODS

       parse_value DB, VALUE
           Convert VALUE to the equivalent DateTime object.  VALUE maybe returned unmodified if it has special
           meaning to the underlying database.  DB is a Rose::DB object that is used as part of the parsing
           process.  Both arguments are required.

       type
           Returns "epoch".
