+If you want to set a specific timezone for that field, use:

+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', extra => { timezone => "America/Chicago" } }
+ );
+
+If you want to inflate no matter what data_type your column is,
+use inflate_datetime or inflate_date:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'varchar', inflate_datetime => 1 }
+ );
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'varchar', inflate_date => 1 }

+
+It's also possible to explicitly skip inflation:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', inflate_datetime => 0 }
+ );
+
+=head1 WARNING
+
+You'll notice some warning about floating timezone if you set timezone in your schema but
+didn't set it when creating/updating a row:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', extra => { timezone => "America/Chicago" } }
+ );
+
+ my $event = $schema->resultset('EventTZ')->create({
+ starts_at => DateTime->new(year=>2007, month=>12, day=>31, ),
+ });
+
+To avoid this, you have three options:
+

+
+=item Fix your broken code
+
+ my $event = $schema->resultset('EventTZ')->create({
+ starts_at => DateTime->new(year=>2007, month=>12, day=>31, time_zone => "America/Chicago" ),
+ });
+
+=item Suppress the warning by doing either ...
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', extra => { timezone => "America/Chicago", floating_tz_ok => 1 } }
+ );
+
+=item ... or ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module figures out the type of DateTime::Format::* class to
that this feature is new as of 0.07, so it may not be perfect yet - bug
reports to the list very much welcome).

up datetime columns appropriately. This would not normally be
directly called by end users.
+In the case of an invalid date, L<DateTime> will throw an exception. To
+bypass these exceptions and just have the inflation return undef, use
+the C<datetime_undef_if_invalid> option in the column info:
+
+ "broken_date",
+ {
+ data_type => "datetime",
+ default_value => '0000-00-00',
+ is_nullable => 1,
+ datetime_undef_if_invalid => 1
