ToC path:

mco_ticks2time

Convert datetime between the application's and database's resolution.

Prototype

 
    mco_int8 mco_ticks2time(mco_int8 ticks, int scale);

Arguments

ticks	The number of time ticks since 1 Jan 1970 (Epoch)
scale	The resolution of time ticks: from 1 (second) to 1000000000 (nanoseconds)

Description

This function converts the argument ticks to the corresponding value specified by the resolution argument scale.

Return Value

mco_int8 The value of ticks converted to the resolution scale

Example

 
    Schema file snippet:
        
 
    class Object
    {
        datetime dt;
        ...
    };
     
     
    Application snippet:
        
 
     
    int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    {
        ...
        mco_trans_start(db, MCO_READ_WRITE, MCO_TRANS_FOREGROUND, &trans);
        if ( MCO_S_OK != rc )
        {
            Object obj = T_new( trans, &obj );
            rc = Object_dt_put( &obj, mco_ticks2time(mco_system_get_current_time(), 1000*1000));
            ...
        }
    }

Note that here the second argument of mco_ticks2time() is 1000*1000, because mco_system_get_current_time() returns time in microseconds.
