INSERT/UPDATE date type

Question

I'm using an Oracle 816 and Java 2.
There is no problem with retrieving data from the tables. My problem is "INSERT date".
Code snip:
(java.util.)Date dtToday = new Date();
String strSQL = "INSERT INTO MY_DB.TABLE1 " +
"(COLUMN1, COLUMN2) VALUES (\"bluh\", " +
dtToday + ")";
myStmt.executeUpdate(strSQL);
Would you please tell me what is the right way to insert a date type (any from java.util.Date, java.sql.Date, or oracle..DATE) to an Oracle 816 table that has a date column.
Thank you very much in advance.

Answer 1

Try to use prepared statement:
PreparedStatement pstmt =
conn.prepareStatement ("insert into TABLE1(COLUMN1, COLUMN2) values (?, ?)");
pstmt.setString (1, "bluh");
pstmt.setDate (2, dtToday);
pstmt.execute ();
null
