Question

Using RAILS 2.2

Hello

I am having an issue where my dates are being set to Time.now when I update a call. This is because the Update statement is only passing the time, not the datetime.

You can see bellow

• [Issuereported_date] = ’11:36:00′
• [Issuelogged_Date] = ’11:36:56′

The time that is being passed isn’t random, it is the time part of the datetime which should have been passed.

As you can see, I’ve tried setting the Issuelogged_Date in my update, although – same thing happens – it just passes the time, and not the datetime.

I’m really stuck on what to do! Any help would be appreciated!

We found that this was down to the Sybase, anywhere Adapter gem we were using.

We modified line 232 so Time was correctly (or how we wanted it to be) passed to the database.

Changes:

when Time then "'#{value.strftime("%H:%M:%S")}'"

now looks like:

when Time then "'#{value.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")}'"
