dbType¶

dbType¶

Path: $GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['columns'][$field]['config']
Type: string
Scope: Proc.

If set, the date or time will not be stored as timestamp, but as native date, time or datetime field in the database. Keep in mind that no timezone conversion will happen.

Examples¶

Date and time picker stored in a datetime field¶

ext_tables.sql¶

CREATE TABLE tx_example_domain_model_foo (
   synced_at datetime default NULL
)

Configuration/TCA/tx_example_domain_model_foo.php¶

'synced_at' => [
   'config' => [
      'type' => 'datetime',
      'dbType' => 'datetime',
      'nullable' => true,
   ],
],

Time picker stored in a datetime field¶

ext_tables.sql¶

CREATE TABLE tx_example_domain_model_foo (
   synced_at time default NULL
)

'synced_at' => [
   'config' => [

      'dbType' => 'time',
      'format' => 'time',
      'nullable' => true,

New in version 12.0.

When this property is not set the datetime value is automatically converted to an int.
