Convert util.Date to sql.Date with time being displayed!

Hi all,
I want to convert util.Date to sql.Date for passing the same to Database. (i donot want to use Timstamp, for some reasons)
java.sql.Date sqldate =
new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime());
This simple code truncates the Time component and the result will be only Date. But my requirement is for Data and Time, both.
Request anyone to suggest how to go abt this problem.
Thanx.

You can use the class java.text.DateFormat (java.text.SimpleDateFormat) for displaying. For example like this.
java.sql.Date sqldate = new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime());
java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd 'at' HH:mm:ss z");
String str = formatter.format(sqldate);
System.out.println(str);

Help converting between Java Dates and SQL Dates

Hey all,
I'm working on a JSP to allow a user to enter information about news articles into a mySQL database. I'm using text fields for most of the data, and most of it is transferred correctly when the user hits "Submit." However, I am having a problem with the date field of the mySQL database. Basically I'm trying to retrieve the current date from the JSP page, and then insert this into the date field of the appropriate table when the user hits submit. The problem is that I can't typecast a java.util.Date or even a java.util.Calendar to a java.sql.Date object. I've tried lots of approaches, including creating a new instance of java.util.Calendar, getting all its fields and concatenating them onto the date variable, but this doesn't work.
Anyone know how I could easily convert between java.util.Date or java.util.Calendar and java.sql.Date?
Thanks!

Thanks for the help!
I can correctly display the current date on the page in java.sql.Date format now, but it's still not being inserted into the database correctly. The specific code is as follows:
java.util.Date dt = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(dt.getTime());
(As you wrote)
Then (after connecting to the database etc.):
PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO NEWS(NEWSDATE,DAYOFWEEK,AUTHOR,HEADLINE,CLIP,PUBLICATION,LINK,NEWSLOCATION,DATECREATED,DATEMODIFIED,CATEGORY,KEYWORDS,PHOTOURL,PHOTOGRAPHER,AUDIOURL) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
pstmt.clearParameters();
pstmt.setString(1,date);
pstmt.setString(2,dayofweek);
pstmt.setString(3,author);
pstmt.setString(4,headline);
pstmt.setString(5,clip);
pstmt.setString(6,publication);
pstmt.setString(7,link);
pstmt.setString(8,newslocation);
pstmt.setDate(9,sqlDate);
pstmt.setString(10,datemodified);
pstmt.setString(11,category);
pstmt.setString(12,keywords);
pstmt.setString(13,photoURL);
pstmt.setString(14,photographer);
pstmt.setString(15,audioURL);
int i = pstmt.executeUpdate();
pstmt.close();
All the other fields are retrieved with request.getParameter from text fields. Any idea why the DATECREATED field is being updated to all 0's but the others work fine?
Thanks again.

Date difference when converting Calendar date to sql date

I am trying to convert a Calendar date to sql date. The only problem in the conversion is sql date adds 1 month to the original date. Due to this my query results show different data than what it is suppossed to show.
Here is my code
Calendar startDate = Calendar.getInstance();
startDate.set(2006, 10, 01, 00, 00); // 1-Oct-2006
return (new java.sql.Date(date.getTimeInMillis()));
on the last statement it adds a month to original date. So the final date i get is 1-Nov-2006.
Any solution to this problem?
Thanks
Sameer

Thanks everyone for quick response.
I have read javadocs many times but that does not
change the fact that Calendar and Sql date
interpretation is different.No, it isn't. You are setting the moth to november when you set the month to 10, and november is what java.sql.Date is showing. So where is the difference? You are doing it wrong and that is why you get the wrong month.
How the f do you think that the calender should know that you want october when you set it to november?
My application is deployed through web service and
the clients may access it through any programming
langague (java, php, ec). Even I am testing it
through java and php. Still doesn't matter. You need to subtract the month by one if you want to let your user use 1 for january.
While testing it through java month is different but
through php its correct.Read the docs.
Can smoeone please give me the best possibel solution
to this?see above

Unable Update SQL Developer with Times Ten in-Memory DB Extension 1.2.1.1.0

SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN 32.13 (Windows XP)
We can't Update SQL Developer with Times Ten in-Memory DB Extension 1.2.1.1.0 :-((
We did the same actions as described in tutorial
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/viewlets/tt703_sqldev_install_ext_viewlet_swf.html
In addition to tutorial we have "Log In" window
"To download Oracle Times Ten in-Memory Database Extension
you must enter your Oracle Web Account user name and password"
This window was not displayed in tutorial...
We try to use three our OTN accounts and the result
was the same - we was asked with "User name" and "Password"
again, again, again and again,,, :-(
Is it a bug or a feature?
Mayby we didn't understand something or did something wrong?

Hi Simon,
I found cause of update failure! It was the HTTP proxy setting.
I turned off "Use HTTP proxy server" checkbox in SQL Developer -> Tools -> Preferences -> Web Browser and Proxy.
After this action SQL Developer was successfully updated with Times Ten Extension.
Valery Yourinsky

Any instance of time being displayed through Firefox is 5 hours off (+) (IE Comcast call time logs, every page print out, etc). IE and all other browers display correctly as is all of the time settings on my computer. Please help.

Any instance of time being displayed when using Firefox show the time off by +5 hours. I am in Phila so use EST. Every other setting is correct in computer. For example time call log displayed from Comcast and every page footer shows time +5 hours. I have not found anything helpful in searching the web. I always check after each upgrade to Firefox but problem persists.

Cor-el... The issue was in the autoexec.bat file. I did have the TZ set there. Removed and all is well.
Thanks Much.

you running the query in OLEDB provider connected to the Oracle's database?
- yes, this works fine now (after fixing this redundancy:

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

Convert Calendar to Java.sql.Date

I seached for a solution for converting a Calendar-object to a java.sql.date for inserting it into a MySQL DB (DateTime). I know this question is a FAQ. The solution I found is the following code:
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(cal.getTime().getTime() );When i do a print of the sqlDate to the console I get: sqlDate: 2005-06-27
But when I look into de DB I get the following date: 27/05/1905
I know that in Java the months are starting from 0-�11 and that the years counting is starting from 1900. But I assume that the solution is not to just add the correct month and year manually. because I get a correct console-output. If I do this I get a correct DB Date, but a wrong console-date.

II dont know if you found an answer but I needed a similar solution so I wrote a test program.
Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class dateTest{
public static void main(String args[]){
// Step by step
// Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
// java.util.Date today = rightNow.getTime();
// long theTime = today.getTime();
// java.sql.Date sDate = new java.sql.Date(theTime);
// In one line
java.sql.Date sDate = new java.sql.Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().getTime());
System.out.println("sDate is: "+sDate.toString());

Conversion of JDBC date to SQL date!!

I've a date format of "Sun Dec 03 01:18:11 IST 2006" (JDBC format)
and want to convert in into "2006/12/03 01:18:11:00" (SQL format).
I've tried with SimpleDateFormat, but it didn't work. It is not accepting that value or format.
Could anyone help me out!!!!

JDBC format? SQL format? Huh?
You need to be working with java.sql.Date and PreparedStatements to properly escape the Date in the database.
As for the SimpleDateFormat, what does "not work" look like?
package cruft;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Date;
* DateFormatTest
* @author md87020
* @since Dec 20, 2006
public class DateFormatTest
   public static void main(String[] args)
      DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("E MMM dd hh:mm:ss z yyyy");
      for (int i = 0; i < args.length; ++i)
         try
            Date date = null;
            date = formatter.parse(args);
System.out.println(date);
catch (ParseException e)
System.err.println("i: " + i + " value: " + args[i]);
e.printStackTrace();
This program appears to be doing some Locale conversions for me, and I don't have time to sort it out.
But the idea is that you should be sending java.sql.Date to the database. Let the JDBC driver handle any SQL conversions for you with PreparedStatements.

Also, this is first time, I saw this kind of error message.
Appreciate any help or any suggestions to find a resolution. Thanks,

Hii Priya,
The reasons may be the file is open, the format/flatfile structure is not correct, the mapping/transfer structure may not be correct, presence of invalid characters/data inconsistency in the file, etc.
Check if the flatfile in .CSV format.
You have to save it in .CSV format for the flatfile loading to work.
Also check the connection issues between source system and BW or sometimes may be due to inactive update rules.
Refer
error 1
Find out the actual reason and let us know.
Hope this helps.

Using relational data from SQL data source in Planning and Essbase

Hi,
How do I take sample data from a SQL data source and bring it into a Hyperion Planning application? I understand that when creating Planning applications, a link between a relational data source and Essbase must be established, because the relational database holds the metadata while the database outline is stored with Essbase. However, all I am currently able to do is load the data into Planning applicaitons via EAS, where I right-click on the Application database, hit load data, and select from either a .txt file or an excel file. Do I need Oracle Data Integrator? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, as well as corrections to any incorrect assumptions I may have made in this post. Thank you.

When you import your file (Excel or text), you're importing it using a Load Rule in EAS. To load from SQL, you simply create a SQL load rule. You'll load data the exact same way (via EAS), but with a different type of load rule. The load rule will contain the SQL that queries the database. You can preview your data in the load rule the same way you would with a file.
If your SQL is very complex, I'd recommend creating a view and loading from that view. But otherwise it's pretty straight-forward.
The only catch is that you need to configure a database connection (to your relational database) on the Essbase server. The Essbase DBA guide will show you how to do this.
You COULD use ODI, but I tend to only use it for loading metadata.
Hope this helps,
- Jake
