[odb-users] unable to map C++ type '::std::chrono::duration< double >'

[Monika Idzik]

Hi Paul,
thank you for the answer.
I'm integrating odb into a bigger project that's why I want to use whatever
already is being used in a project (and try not to change it if I don't
have to).
The variable type is std::chrono::duration, that's why I want to have it
also in the database. I'm just asking if it's possible, not if it's the
best way to represent the time duration/time point.

I need the precision of microseconds for this project.

I didn't include the header cause it's a bigger project, but basically it
would look something like this:
#include <chrono>

#pragma db object
class TestChonoClass
{
public:
...

private:
  friend class odb::access;

  #pragma db id auto
  unsigned long id_;

  const std::chrono::duration<double> test_chrono;
};

If there is no easy way to have std::chrono::duration in the database. I
will try with the boost library; just wanted to know if I need to change
the existing code to have this particular value in the database.


Firstly, do you really wish to store a std::chrono::duration attribute in
