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.
