c-treeDB API for C++ - Developers Guide

Time Types

CTTIME is declared as a 32-bit unsigned integer, stored as the number of seconds since midnight. The CTTIME type was implemented to be compatible with FairCom's r-tree and ODBC products.

c-treeDB provides functions and methods to allow the user to manipulate the CTTIME type in their applications.

Method	Operation
Pack	Pack a time from hour, minute, and second into a CTTIME form.
Unpack	Unpack a CTTIME time into hour, minute, and second.
TimeToString	Convert a packed time value into string format.
StringToTime	Convert a time in string form into a packed time. TimeType() gives the string form of the time value.
Hour	Retrieve the hour component of a packed time. The hour return is a 24-hour value. Example 11 pm is return as 23.
Minute	Retrieve the minute component of a packed time.
Second	Retrieve the second component of a packed time.
