[odb-users] ODB version as timestamp

[Paul Stath]

Is it possible in ODB to define the version attribute as a date-time stamp?
I seem to recall in a past project having the version column be a boost::posix_time::ptime value.
However, this was quite a while back, and I may be confusing it with a Java Persistence API project.

When I try to change the data type of the member variable from 'unsigned long' to 'boost::posix_time::ptime', the SQL looks fine, but I get a compilation error in the generated code.

In the <Class>::persist() method, the version value is being initialized to an integer 1.

     obj.version = 1;

I would expect it to set obj.version to the current date/time when the record is persisted.

I have other columns in the same class that are 'boost_posix_ptime' which work correctly, so I already have the '--profile boost/date-time/posix-time' flag set.

Am I trying to do something that is unsupported?
