Convert a string to JAva.sql.date..

I am having a string with the value as follows..
String fval="03-10-2001"..
I am using this value in a rs.updateDate method where I need to convert it to a different format as
2001-10-03...can anybody give me the syntax..

You should hold dates as Date instances. But if you want to convert between Strings and Dates then you should use a DateFormat:
String originalDateString = "31-10-2001";
// Convert the original string to a date
DateFormat originalDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date date = originalDateFormat.parse(originalDateString);
// Get a representation of the date in the new format
DateFormat newDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String newDateString = newDateFormat.format(date);(Excuse the quirky formatting that the Java code filter applies!)
Hope this helps.

Convert string into java.sql.Date

Hi,
I want to convert a date in string form into java.sql.Date to persist into the database column with Date as its datatype in Oracle. I'm trying as follows:
import java.sql.Date;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class DateTest
public static void main(String[] args)
String strDate = "2002-07-16 14:45:01";
     System.out.println("strDate = "+strDate);
Date aDate = null;
try
if(strDate != null && !strDate.trim().equals(""))
     SimpleDateFormat aSDF = new SimpleDateFormat();
     aSDF.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
     java.util.Date utilDate = aSDF.parse(strDate);
System.out.println("utildate = "+utilDate);
     aDate = new Date(utilDate.getTime());
     aDate.setTime(utilDate.getTime());
     System.out.println("aDate = "+aDate);
catch (ParseException e)
System.out.println("Unable to parse the date - "+strDate);
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("Caught Exception :"+ex.getMessage());
It gives the output as :
strDate = 2002-07-16 14:45:01
utildate = Tue Jul 16 14:45:01 IST 2002
aDate = 2002-07-16
If I put this value into the database table, I can see only the date. Time part is missing. Is this the problem with java.sql.Date or Oracle datatype Date? Please help me asap.
Thanks in advance.

If I put this value into the database table, I can
see only the date. Time part is missing. Is this the
problem with java.sql.Date or Oracle datatype Date?This is not a problem, this is the defined behaviour of the Date type. RTFAPI and have a look at Timestamp, while you're at it.

How to change a date value from "java.util.Date" to "java.sql.Date"?

Hi all,

such as "select * from xx where somedate = '2004-12-31'
but when i show it to screen, i want to show it as dd-MM-yyyy
I m using the following to change the jave.util.Date to str and vice versa. But it cannot shows the dd-MM-yyyy. I tried to change the format from yyyy-MM-dd to dd-MM-yyyy, it shows the wrong date in my application.
     public String date2str(java.util.Date thisdate)     {
          if (thisdate != null)     {
               java.sql.Date thissDate = new java.sql.Date(thisdate.getTime());
               return date2str(thissDate);

Convert String to java UTC date then to sql date

Hi,
I am trying to convert string (MM/dd/yyyy format) to UTC date time and store in the database.
This is what I did:
String dateAsString = "10/01/2007";
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
formatter.setLenient(false);
java.util.date dateValue = formatter.parse(dateAsString, new ParsePosition(0));
dateValue will be Sun Sep 30 20:00:00 EDT 2007 in UTC.
Now I need to store this date and time to MS SQL database.
I used the following code:
java.sql.Date sqlDateValue = new java.sql.Date(parsedToDate.getTime());
But this code give only the date, not time 2007-09-30
Can anybody tell me how I can change this java date to sql date (or datetime?) so that I can get both date and time.
Thanks,
semaj

Converting String to Date (java.sql.date)

Hi,
Kindly let me know how I can convert a string like
"20061102" (YYYYMMDD) to a Date type (java.sql.date) in web Dynpro.
Requirement is to set a DateType context Attribute with
the value contained in the String ("20061102" ).
Awaiting your kind responses..
Regards,
Mahesh

SimpleDateFormat yyyyMMdd_parser = new SimpleDateFormat(

Converting String foramt(yyyy-mm-dd) to java.sql.Date format(mm/dd/yyyy)

Hi,
I am new to this Technology.
in my Project DataBase I have the date field as String in format yyyy-mm-dd. when I am trying to fetch this date through the front-end I need to see the date in dd/mm/yyyy format of type java.sql.Date Variable.
if you know, Pl help me.
Thanks in Advance,

Then use a SimpleDateFormat object to parse it into a Date object, and also to format the Date the way you want to see it, rather than simply relying on the toString() implementation.

How to convert JAVA.SQL.DATE date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY

i am using informix database which accepts date value in the form of DATE format......
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD fromat into DD/MM/YYYY fromat of same type before inserting into db......
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........

Maybe you mean Informix (fronted by JDBC) expects date values as java.sql.Date objects?
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...
so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY format of same type before inserting into db......I am not sure why you are talking about formats here.
There is no formatting inherent in a java.util.Date object
nor in a java.sql.Date object.
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........You can easily create a java.sql.Date object from a java.util.Date object.
String s = "31/12/2010";
java.util.Date ud = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(s);
java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getTime());
ud = sd; // java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date so no conversion is needed

Convert java.sql.Date to oracle.jbo.domain.Date in oaf

Hi,
Need to dafault NeedBydate(i get in from query as below) to a messagelovinput and make it read only.
i am facing some issue in converting from java.sql.Date to oracle.jbo.domain.Date.
unable to figure out the problem.
below is the sample code im trying to use.
PreparedStatement ps=pageContext.createPreparedStatement("select sysdate from dual");
ResultSet rs=ps.executeQuery();
if (rs!=null && ps.next()
java.sql.Date sqlDate= rs.getDate(1);
oracle.jbo.domain.Date oracleDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate.getTime());
vorow.setAttribute("Datevalue",oracleDate);
this is my assumption : to set to UI i need date in format dd-Mon-yyyy.(am i correct? as to get that format i tried to use simple date format class but no use)
when i tried to use simple date format :unpaseable date exception was raised.
please guide.

Hi,
Why are you using this code???
PreparedStatement ps=pageContext.createPreparedStatement("select sysdate from dual");
ResultSet rs=ps.executeQuery();
if (rs!=null && ps.next()
java.sql.Date sqlDate= rs.getDate(1);
oracle.jbo.domain.Date oracleDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate.getTime());
you can get sysdate using this and then set it
oracle.jbo.domain.Date currentDate = am.getOADBTransaction().getCurrentUserDate();
java.text.SimpleDateFormat displayDateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-MM-dd");
String DateForm = displayDateFormat.format(currentDate.dateValue());
oracle.jbo.domain.Date dateset = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(DateForm);
and then set the attribute
vorow.setAttribute("Datevalue",dateset);

Shows up following error msg:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from java.util.Date to java.sql.Date
I don't think this exception is thrown from the portion of code you have shown. As clearly specified in exception message, you cannot cast an instance of java.util.Date to java.sql.Date. you will need to do something like this
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
long t = today.getTime();
java.sql.Date dt = new java.sql.Date(t);
