"Don't". DateTime::Format::DBI only supports MySQL and Postgres, and as such is next-to-useless. What I'm doing instead is adding a datetime_parser method to storage and writing an AutoInflate::DateTime component that'll pick up the column data type and setup inflate/deflate methods appropriately - have a look at branches/DBIx-Class/datetime in svn for my progress so far. -- Matt S Trout Offering custom development, consultancy and support Technical Director contracts for Catalyst, DBIx::Class and BAST.
