bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

Enables and disables mapping date-time types to driver-specific types. This feature has been added for backward compatibility with older applications.

The default is true: GetProviderSpecificFieldType will return a TdDate, TdTime, TdTimeWithTimeZone, TdTimestamp, or TdTimestampWithTimeZone type corresponding to the Teradata Database data type when EnableTdDateTime is set to true.

The method will return DateTime, TimeSpan, or DateTimeOffsetString when EnableTdDateTime is set to false.
