Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-14) add Edm.Date to the OData primitive data types
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-14?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31116#action_31116 ]
Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-14:
---------------------------------
I wonder how many of the date and time fields in the above models are rather DateTime fields that have been ripped apart.
As the date fields outnumber the time fields in most of these examples, there is need for representing a "date without time" in OData.
Whether that is a new datatype, or a new facet of DateTimeOffset, or a just an annotation "please ignore the time part" (which is what we currently do :-) is up for discussion.
The "unintentional birth date change" problem confirms my belief that we should retire DateTime (without Offset) and require all points in time to state their timezone.

> Key: ODATA-14
> URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-14
> Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: OData CSDL v1.0
> Reporter: Andrew Eisenberg
> Assignee: Ralf Handl
>
> The addition of Edm.Date to the OData primitive data types might be considered.
> Date values are widely used. SQL supports the DATE data type. XML Schema supports the xs:date data type.
> Example:
> <ComplexType Name="DeliveryFormatAvailability">
> <Property Name="Available" Type="Edm.Boolean" Nullable="false" />
> <Property Name="AvailableFrom" Type="Edm.Date" Nullable="true" />
> <Property Name="AvailableTo" Type="Edm.Date" Nullable="true" />
> <Property Name="Rating" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="Max" Unicode="true" FixedLength="false" />
> <Property Name="Runtime" Type="Edm.Int32" Nullable="true" />
> </ComplexType>
