DATETIME in Access

Question

I have the following code which helps me to add element to the table after retriving result set from Access. I don't know how to set the types for DATETIME. Should i use Timestamp or what? I don't have any idea to write the code. Could any help?
private Vector getNextRow(ResultSet rs, ResultSetMetaData rsmd) throws SQLException {
   Vector currentRow = new Vector();
   for (int i = 1; i <= rsmd.getColumnCount(); ++i)
   switch(rsmd.getColumnType(i)){
      case Types.VARCHAR:
      case Types.LONGVARCHAR:
         currentRow.addElement(rs.getString(i));
     break;
      case Types.INTEGER:
     currentRow.addElement(new Long(rs.getLong(i)));
     break;
      /*case Types.TIMESTAMP:
           currentRow.addElement(new Timestamp(rs.getTimestamp(i)));
     break;*/ // got stuck here!
      default:
     System.out.println("Type was: " +
        rsmd.getColumnTypeName(i));
      return currentRow;
}Many thanks, Julieta

Hi Julieta,
On my Windows XP machine with J2SE SDK 1.4.2 and Micro$oft Access 2002, database table columns with the "Date/Time" data-type map to the java "java.sql.Timestamp" class.
In any case, you don't need to worry about the column type, you can just use the "getObject()" method in "java.sql.ResultSet", as in:
currentRow.addElement(rs.getObject(i));The actual object returned will be the correct type. In other words "getObject()" for a "Date/Time" column will return an instance of "java.sql.Timestamp". Try it for yourself and see!
Good Luck,
Avi.
