<div class="section"><p>Date, time, and timestamp can be represented by character string
|

|
|
values and assigned to character string variables. The database manager recognizes
|
||
|
|
the following as date, time, and timestamp values: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>A value returned by the DATE, TIME, or TIMESTAMP scalar functions.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A value returned by the CURRENT DATE, CURRENT TIME, or CURRENT TIMESTAMP
|

|
|
special registers.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />A value of a character string in the ANSI/ISO standard
|

|
|
date, time, or timestamp format, for example, <strong>DATE</strong> '1950-01-01'.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A character string when it is an operand of an arithmetic expression or
|
||
|
|
a comparison <em>and</em> the other operand is a date, time, or timestamp.
|
||
|
|
For example, in the predicate: <pre>… <strong>WHERE</strong> HIREDATE < '1950-01-01'</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>if
|
||
|
|
HIREDATE is a date column, the character string '1950-01-01' is interpreted

as a date.</p>

</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A character string variable or constant used to set a date, time, or timestamp

column in either the SET clause of an UPDATE statement, or the VALUES clause
|
||
|
|
of an INSERT statement.</li>
