Converting from milliseconds to a date format in java

Question

This so that, that date can be inserted into a date column in mysql
What I have is something like 1119193190
I do:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
Date resultdate = new Date(yourmilliseconds);
System.out.println(sdf.format(resultdate));
and Java gives me something like:
Jul 04,2004 14:06
But Java then when inserting into a mysql table is all like um....no:
com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Incorrect date value: 'Jul 04,2004 14:06' for column 'prodDate' at row 1
proDate is of type date in mysql.
Help?

"Jul 04,2004 14:06" is a String, not a Date.
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("insert into T(name, birthdate) values(?, ?)");
ps.setString(1, "Joe Smith");
java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date(yourmillis);
ps.setDate(2, date);
ps.executeUpdate();
I am a bit confused
This i what I have
for(int i = 0; i < productions.size(); i++)
                    //Create a new Production from the ArrayList
                    Production p = (Production) productions.get(i);
                    //Convert the date from milliseconds to YYYY-MM-DD format. for mysql?
                    SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
                    Date convertedDate = new Date(p.getDate());
                    //Build a query to insert the Production into the table
                    String insertQuery = "INSERT INTO WELL_PROD VALUES(" +
                              "'" + p.getLocation() + "'," +
                              "'" + dateFormatter.format(convertedDate) + "'," +
                              "'" + p.getOilProd() + "'," +
                              "'" + p.getWaterProd() + "'," +
                              "'" + p.getGasProd() + "')";
                    //Print the query to the screen
                    System.out.println("-> INSERTING the following query into well_prod: ");
                    System.out.println("   " + insertQuery);
                    //Update the database using the constructed query
                    int result = statement.executeUpdate(insertQuery);
                    //Print out the result of the insertion
                    System.out.println("   INSERT RESULT: " + result);
               }Are you saying something like
java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date(Something , what I have no idea, Should go here);
instead of
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
and then carry on as normal?
If so, what should go in those brackets based on the code?
java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
This is all being read in from a text file and converted over before being spit out to the data base, it all works except for the date...
