Hi,
Can anyone help me out on how to convert the unix date time format to normal date time? I should convert this unix data to proper time format also with GMT+5:30 hrs. Please help me to do the same.
Thanks in advance,
Keshavan.

Convert Unix timestamp to Readable Date/time

Hello.
I'm reading a database with the time field expressed in Unix Time (number of seconds since 1/1/1970 00:00).
Is there any fast way to convert it to "mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss" ?
Regards.

Try something like this:
DateFormat shortTime = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG);
String theTime = shortTime.format(new java.util.Date());
DateFormat shortDate = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
String theDate = shortDate.format(new java.util.Date());
System.out.println("The formatted date is: " + theDate + " and the formatted time is: " + theTime);Check out the static fields in the DateFormat class for the different formatting options.
Hope that helps!

Select entries between two dates by converting Unix timestamp in Oracle Dat

Hi,
I need to select the entries between two dates from an Oracle db. The Oracle db has a column with Unix timestamps. I use the following querry, but it doesnt seem to be working as desired.
select count(*) from reporter_status where to_char(FIRSTOCCURRENCE, 'mm-dd-yy') between ('08-07-06') and ('08-08-06');
FIRSTOCCURRENCE has the Unix timestamps.
Could anyone help me out with this. Thank you for your help.

Assuming that it is actually a UNIX timestamp, then it is the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970, so you need something like:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM reporter_status
WHERE TO_DATE('01-Jan-1970', 'dd-mon-yyyy') + (firstoccurrence/24/60/60)
BETWEEN TO_DATE('08-07-2006', 'mm-dd-yyyy') AND
TO_DATE('08-08-2006, 'mm-dd-yyyy');Did Y2K not teach us anything? Use 4 digit years.

How can i convert the firefox-history-timestamp in places.sqlite into a normal date format? The firefox-timestamp is not equivalent to the unix-timestamp, that's why I ask. I could not find a conversion function. Does anyone know something about this?

As I opened the places.sqlite with an sqlite-editor I found out that firefox saves the last_visit_date via a timestamp which is 16 digits long. I realized that the first 10 digits are similar to the corresponding unix-timestamp but not equal. So.. how can i convert the firefox-timestamp into a normal date? Or into the corresponding unix-timestamp?

Write a bash script or 'C' program to change the date format and then use the sql update function to receive the stdio output 'where date_field='embeded date value'.

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);

UTC Date Time and Normal Date Time

Hi All,
1. How UTC date time and Normal date time differs in siebel.
2. If legacy data needed to be loaded into siebel, in siebel few fields are date time and UTC date time fields. what would happen if we load both normal date time and UTC date time without considering them techinically?
3. UTC date time holds any specific format in physical database? If we want to load legacy data to UTC date time format what is the query to manipulate it?
Thankyou
Sean

How to Convert Normal XML date or Oracle date to JDE Julian Date

We can do a simple mathematical step in XSLT :
'xpath20:format-dateTime(xpath20:current-dateTime(),"[Y0001][d001]") - 1900000'
Or in SQL :
Select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYDDD')-1900000 from dual;
Julian Date is: Year in 4 digits, YYYY, and Number of days in 3 digits, DDD
JDE Julian Date is Julian Date -1900000 (ie it counts Julian date from 1900 Year)
"[Y0001][d001]” returns date in Year in 4 digit + number of days in 3 digits. This is the Julian date.
Subtracting 1900000 ( ie YR ’1900’ & DAY ‘000’) gives the required JDE Julian Date.

Hi,
getTime() (in Date) will give you that date in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT.
To my knowledege, this is the same as Unix date format.

VI to convert Unix time to standard time?

hi,
I am in need of a VI to convert Unix time to Standard time?
eg: Unix time: 1268845177 in seconds
Standard time: GMT: Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:59:37 GMT
Your timezone(U.S):
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 10:59:37 AM
I have the calculation but not full formula.
Unix time is in seconds from Jan 1,1970, 00:00:00 UTC, starting at 0 counting forward.
When 1268845177/86400 = 14685 days.
86400 = 60*60*24 seconds
But how to convert the 14685 days and relate to the current date, how it should be done?
Either the formula or a VI to convert Unix time to standard time will be a help.

Arvinth

Timestamps and the PC clock vs. time on the net are different and I'd say somewhat unrelated concepts.
You are worried about accuracy of the current time. Timestamps have nothing to do with current time, but are a way of identifying and particular moment in time.
Yes, the PC clock gets its time from the net assuming the time server settings are all set properly. Even the correction of the current PC time may not happen exactly when the leap second gets inserted. It may be some time before the PC resynchronizes with the net time. The PC doesn't know if the existence of when a leap second will occur. And neither does the LabVIEW timestamp.
Here is an example. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second, a leap second will occur at the end of June 30 of this year UTC. Since my clock is eastern daylight time at that date, I put together an example for 8pm on June 30 (UTC +4). You'll see that the 3 values (a second before, the exact time, and a second after) show they are all 1 second apart. There is no extra second accounted for. So in real life the time a second after vs. a second before are actually 3 seconds apart, but LabVIEW only show 2 seconds. Feel free to play with the attached snippet for different timezones and daylight savings time and all of that.
I don't think you really have as big of a problem as you are trying to investigate here. If your timing needs are that critical where you need accuracy of the current time to better than a second, then you shouldn't be looking at LabVIEW timestamps, PC time clock, or internet time at all, but look at a high accuracy timing source perhaps based on a GPS clock.
Unless you have a particular test planned to run over the expected point of time where a leap second is inserted, then you shouldn't have to worry. Even if you do have a test run over the leap second, you probably don't need to worry either. If the test is based on a waveform datatype, then you have a T0 timestamp, and a dT that will keep track of all the individual data points accurately.

Converting from milliseconds to a date format in java

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.

                    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...

Problem with SLQ Date and Daylight Saving Time

Hi everybody!
It seems, that when I have a date in the database, which falls on start of the daylight saving period, it is converted to the previous date.
Example: '2001-10-13' will become '2001-10-12' after doing a date = rs.getDate() and then converting back using date.toString().
This caused a lot of trouble because the date value is part of an unique key constraint!
Currently I wrote a wrapper method, which obtains the date as string and converts this one into a date by setting the hours to 12:00.
Does anybody know a straighter way to avoid the conversion?

Because the default time zone is using day light saving time. To remove this feature, reset your default time zone at the very beginning of your program:
TimeZone.setDefault( new SimpleTimeZone( TimeZone.getDefault().getRawOffset(), TimeZone.getDefault().getID() );

Every 3rd data package taking long time for execution

Hi Everyone
We are facing a strange situation. Our scenario involves doing a full load from DSO to CUBE.
Start routines are not very database intensive and care has been taken to write them in a optimized way.
But strangely every 3rd data package is taking exceptionally longer time than other data packages.
a) DTP is having 3 parallal processes.
b)time spent in extraction , rule, and updation is constant for every data package.
c)start routine time is larger for every 3rd data package and keeps on increasing. for e.g. 5 mins, 10 mins, 24 mins, 33 mins etc it increases by each 3rd package.
I tried to anlayze the data which was taking so much time but found no difference in terms of data in normal and longer time taking DTP (i.e. there was not logical difference in data for start routine to behave like this).
I was wondering what can be the possible reasons for it and may be some other external system factors can be responsible for it. If someone can help in this regard that will be highly appreciated.

Hi Hemanth,
In your start routine, are you by any chance adding or multiplying the number of records to the source_package? Something like copy source package into an internal table, add records to internal table and then copy it back to source package? If some logic of this sorts is in your start routine, you need to refresh your internal table. Otherwise, the internal table records goes on increasing with every data package. So, the processing time might increase as the load progresses. This is one common mistake I have seen. Please check your code if you have something like that and refresh the internal tables. See if this makes any difference.
Thanks and Regards

How to convert object type to only Date type ?

Hii everyone,
I have a table in database and their is column called as date and its data type is DateTime
In my UI part i have taken a Datepeacker and what ever user selected that date i am storing in my Date properties which has the same data type DateTime and at the Insertion time the date inserting successfully but at the time of updating data i am getting
error that the Date is not correct format because in date property it having the value 23:12:2014 00:00:00 which is crate problem at the time of update. So how to solve this ?
Note : I am using VS2008 and using Datagrid inside datgrid what ever changes user make tat one i required to update ,below are my update code which done through datatable i.e
first i have done datatable dt=new datatable();
                              dt = EmpBusinessLayer.SelectManager(dd.Eno)
then my update logic is :
    for (int i= 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
                ee.Ename = dt.Rows[i][0].ToString();
                ee.Job = dt.Rows[i][1].ToString();
                ee.Dept = dt.Rows[i][2].ToString();
                ee.Gender = dt.Rows[i][3].ToString();
                ee.Status =Convert.ToInt32(dt.Rows[i][4]);
                ee.Dates = Convert.ToDateTime(dt.Rows[i][6]);// Hear i am getting value like 23.8.2104 00:00:00
                ee.Eno = Convert.ToInt32(dt.Rows[i][9]);
                cmd = new SqlCommand("update Employee set sEname='"+ee.Ename+"', sEJob='"+ee.Job+"', sEDept='"+ee.Dept+"',
sGender='"+ee.Gender+"', bStatus="+ee.Status+", dDates="+ee.Dates+" where iEmpNo="+ee.Eno, con);       // Hear Getting Error tat incorrect syntax 00
                if (con.State != ConnectionState.Open)
                    con.Open();
                if (cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() > 0)
                    return 1;
S.K Nayak

You could use the yyyy-MM-dd format by calling the ToString method on the DateTime object:
cmd = new SqlCommand("update Employee set sEname='"+ee.Ename+"', sEJob='"+ee.Job+"', sEDept='"+ee.Dept+"', sGender='"+ee.Gender+"', bStatus="+ee.Status+", dDates=" + ee.Dates.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") +" where iEmpNo="+ee.Eno, con);
Note that you should use parameters when create a command like this though:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlparametercollection.addwithvalue(v=vs.110).aspx
But that's another story for another thread in another forum.
Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer and then start a new thread if you have a new question.

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
