Declares a date in the database as a dtu value.
Remarks
The method does not perform time zone conversion on the database date value - if the
dtdb was originally a local date value,
dtdb.DeclareAsDtu() will throw an error message at runtime.
The dtu.DtuToDtdb() method removes the milliseconds part of the
dtu value during conversion, and so a dtu value, and the
same dtu value first converted to dtdb and then declared as
a dtu using the dtdb.DeclareAsDtu() method are not strictly
equal.
Sample
var a = dtu.Now(); var b = a.DtuToDtdb(); ... var e =b.DeclareAsDtu(); var f = (e == a); // returns false trace e; trace a; trace f; /* the DeclareAs... methods do no actual data type conversion this would fail with the 'Cannot declare local time as Dtu' error at runtime var i = c.DtlToDtdb().DeclareAsDtu(); trace i; */
