Is there a way to change Rails default timestamps to Y-m-d H:i:s (instead of Y-m-d H:i:s.u) or have laravel ignore decimal portion of Y-m-d H:i:s.u?

Question

I have two applications using the same postgres DB. A laravel application and a rails application. The current data in the DB is in Y-m-d H:i:s format but whenever

Answer 1

In Laravel/PHP, you can convert DateTime with millisecond to without millisecond using below function:

$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s.u');
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($date));

In Rails, you can update your time object before sending it to the database, as mentioned below:

time.change(:usec => 0)
