ignore_time

[ORACLE]
ignore_time=0

0 means switched off, 1 means switched on.

This adds the TRUNC function to SQL statements on the DATE datatype for when related DP4 date/time fields are combined into one Oracle DATA datatype and the application wishes to select all the records for a particular day irrespective of time for example.

It basically truncates the DATE within Oracle to chop off the time portion making the time part of each record 00:00:00.

This option was added in the past in connection with the timestamps option and is similarly not recommended.
