NAME
    DBIx::Class::TimeStamp

DESCRIPTION
    Works in conjunction with InflateColumn::DateTime to automatically set
    update and create date and time based fields in a table.

SYNOPSIS
     package My::Schema;

     __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( TimeStamp ... Core ));
     
 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
        id => { data_type => 'integer' },
        t_created => { data_type => 'datetime', set_on_create => 1 },
        t_updated => { data_type => 'datetime',
            set_on_create => 1, set_on_update => 1 },
     );

    Now, any update or create actions will update the specified columns with
    the current time, using the DateTime inflator.

    This is effectively trigger emulation to get consistent behavior across
    databases that either implement them poorly or not at all.

METHODS
  get_timestamp
    Returns a DateTime object pointing to now. Override this method if you
    have different time accounting functions, or want to do anything
    special.

    The date and time objects in the database are expected to be inflated.
    As such you can be pretty flexible with what you want to return here.
