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.

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.

Getting the current time using java.sql.Time

I need to set the current time in a database field. I tried the following code (using my logic) to set the current time. But, I end up getting "Jan 1, 1970" in the time field in the database.
Here is the code :
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Java.sql.Time now = java.sql.Time.valueOf(
          cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + ":" +
          cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" +
          cal.get(Calendar.SECOND));
What should I do to get the current time in the "now" variable? Right now, it ends up in the database as "Jan 1, 1970".
Thanx in advance.

Can you show me the code to do SimpleDateFormat?
Assuming that I use the following skeleton to get the
time value from the database, can you show me the
code for the missing link (so as to display in the
format "hh:mm:ss") ?
java.sql.Time timeFromDb =
obj.getActionTime();
// The above code gets the "time" field from
the database into "timeFromDb"
// Use SimpleDateFormat to display the time
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new
java.text.SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
// Now what do I do with "sdf" and
"timeFromDb" ?
// Print out the time value
System.out.printf("Time is : %s\n",
.... );Hi,
I don't know if you want 24h clock or not. This is the pattern for 24h clock.
"HH:mm:ss"
You get the text string by calling sdf.format(timeFromDb)

Using java.sql.Time: Offset by 1 hour?

I have a problem understanding the behaviour of the java.sql.Time class. As the following example shows.
61952000 ms is the Time 17:12:32. If i feed a Time-Object with it and print the time or date I'll get "18:12:32",
an offset of 1h. But if I use time.getTime(), I get my ms value which equals 17:12:32.
As my timezone shows, I have a GMT offset of one hour. But why does the getTime() method not calculate
the timezone offset to the ms?
Time time = new Time(61952000);
        System.out.println(time.getTime() / 3600 / 1000); // 17 hours
        System.out.println( new Date(time.getTime()) ); // Thu Jan 01 18:12:32 CET 1970
        System.out.println(time.getTime()); // 61952000
        System.out.println(time); // 18:12:32
        System.out.println(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeZone());
         * sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Europe/Berlin",offset=3600000,dstSavings=3600000,
         * useDaylight=true,transitions=143,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Berlin,
         * offset=3600000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=2,startMonth=2,
         * startDay=-1,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=3600000,startTimeMode=2,endMode=2,endMonth=9,
         * endDay=-1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=3600000,endTimeMode=2]]
         */

Thanks for your reply. But please take a look at the following code snippet. It intends to add a Timestamp representing the
start of a day (time component 00:00:00) to a time component (having Date to 01-01-1970):
        Time time = new Time(61952000);
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        System.out.println("time: " + time); // 18:12:32
        c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
        c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
        c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
        c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
        System.out.println("date: " + c.getTime()); // Fri Apr 03 00:00:00 CEST 2009
        Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp( c.getTimeInMillis() + time.getTime() );
        Date d = new Date(timestamp.getTime() );
        System.out.println("\nresult: " + d); // result: Fri Apr 03 17:12:32 CEST 2009If I assume that getting and setting the milis always deals with timezone independent values, but operating methods
like toString(), getHour() etc use the timezone, then I can not explain the result (last line): 17:12:32 is the timezone
independend value. Should'nt d.toString() show the timezone dependend value of 18:12:32?

Java.sql.Time not working correctly

Hi guys,
I have the following code which is used to put clients session data in my database.
long logged_in_time = p.getCreatedTime();
            long logged_out_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
            long duration = logged_out_time - logged_in_time;
            System.out.println("LOGGED IN: " + logged_in_time);
            System.out.println("LOGGED OUT: " + logged_out_time);
            System.out.println("DURATION: " + duration);
            System.out.println("DURATION TIME: " + new Time(duration));and this is the result:
LOGGED IN: 1141394617474
LOGGED OUT: 1141394638634
DURATION: 21160
DURATION TIME: 01:00:21
Does anyone know why java.sql.Time adds an hour? The duration in milliseconds equals 21 seconds but when I constuct the Time obj I get 1 hour 21 seconds.
Any help would be great.
Alex

Probably because your default timezone is not GMT, but GMT+1 (e.g. CET.)
The java.util.Date (and subclasses) wraps a long value representing the number of miliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.
As a consequence a new Date(0) will represent the date above, which is equivalent to January 1, 1970, 01:00:00 CET.
You might use a DateFormat and specify the TimeZone.
Example:        Time time = new Time(21160);
        DateFormat format = DateFormat.getTimeInstance();
        format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("CET"));
        System.out.println(format.format(time));
        format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
        System.out.println(format.format(time));Will output:
01:00:21
00:00:21

Get the difference between two java.sql.Time values

Hi, I'm developping a web application in which I need to to subtract one java.sql,Time value from another. The two values are stored in a database field of type DateTime. I used following code
java.sql.Time start_time=resultset.getTime("startTime");
java.sql.Time end_time=resultset.getTime("startTime");
java.sql.Time diff=start_time-end_time;
can u give me any comment on this code

Remember what the Date/Time object in Java represents - a single point in time.
Subtracting one from another gives you an amount of time elapsed between the two dates. Fine.
Making a new Date out of that number is incorrect. The number no longer represents a point in time, but rather a duration.
Its like saying "There is 10 seconds difference between the two times, so the time is now 1 Jan 1970, 00:00:10 GMT".
The simple and stupid calculation is to take the milliseconds difference, and divide it to get to a more humanly readable value.
// duration in milliseconds
long duration = ?????
long durationInSeconds = duration / 1000;
long durationInMinutes = duration / (60 * 1000);
long durationInHours = duration / (60 * 60 * 1000);
// careful - not always true!
long durationInDays = duration / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
NOTE: The "daysBetween" calculation is potentially complicated by Daylight Time adjustments. The simple approach does not necessarily work exactly.

New java.sql.Time(3600000) = 02:00:00

hi,
i'm a little confused with time in java. everyone know that 3600000 millisecond = 01:00:00 (1h) so what is going on with this: new java.sql.Time(3600000) = 02:00:00 ?
does anyone can help?

Everyone also knows that the standard "stringification" of such an object provides you with the date/time in your timezone while the value relates to GMT. 01:00 GMT is 02:00 CET.

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

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());
}

How do I convert ClobDomain to java.sql.Clob?

I have an instance of oracle.jbo.domain.ClobDomain and i need
to convert it to oracle.sql.CLOB. How do I do this?

Sascha, I tried your solution:
clobData = (CLOB) content.getData();
Alas, it does not work. Although content has a value, clobData becomes null
Also, if I take a look in the source ClobDomain.data, the method getData has the following

String conversion of time to Java.Sql.Time

Hello,
Im developing a servlet based application where I need to take the time from the user in the hh:mm format and then add it to the database ( MS SQL Server 2000) . I do so via a HTML page.
Now in my servlet I retrieve the value using request.getParameter which gets retrieved as String.So now I need to convert it to the Time format so that I can add it to the DB.
Can someone please guide me as to how this is done, Ive tried SimpleDateFormat but Im not quite clear with that concept and so I think Ive messed it up. Hence Im not posting anything here.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
