Convert java.sql.date to dd.mm.yyyy format

Hi,
Can any one tell me how to convert java.sql.date to dd.mm.yyyy format
Regards,
H.V.Swathi

Hi ,
Create a simple data type of type java.sql.date and give the format in it as "dd/MM/yyyy". This will work i guess.

Converting String foramt(yyyy-mm-dd) to java.sql.Date format(mm/dd/yyyy)

Hi,
I am new to this Technology.
in my Project DataBase I have the date field as String in format yyyy-mm-dd. when I am trying to fetch this date through the front-end I need to see the date in dd/mm/yyyy format of type java.sql.Date Variable.
if you know, Pl help me.
Thanks in Advance,
Kamala.

Then use a SimpleDateFormat object to parse it into a Date object, and also to format the Date the way you want to see it, rather than simply relying on the toString() implementation.

How to convert JAVA.SQL.DATE date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY

i am using informix database which accepts date value in the form of DATE format......
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD fromat into DD/MM/YYYY fromat of same type before inserting into db......
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........

Maybe you mean Informix (fronted by JDBC) expects date values as java.sql.Date objects?
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...
so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY format of same type before inserting into db......I am not sure why you are talking about formats here.
There is no formatting inherent in a java.util.Date object
nor in a java.sql.Date object.
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........You can easily create a java.sql.Date object from a java.util.Date object.
String s = "31/12/2010";
java.util.Date ud = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(s);
java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getTime());
ud = sd; // java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date so no conversion is needed

Making java.sql.Date dd.mm.yyyy format

Hi,
java.sql.Date format is m/d/yyyy.
I must use dd.mm.yyyy format.
How can it be done?
Thanks.

You can use the following line of code to change the date format
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
String formattedDate = formatter.format(<Ur java.sql.Date instance>);

Poblem with java.sql.Date while inserting to a table

Hi All,
I have a PostgreSQL database table which contains fields(columns ) of type date. I want to insert values to the table in the[b] �dd-MMM-YYYY� format using the prepared statement.
My code is as follows
java.text.DateFormat dateFormatter =new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
String formatedDate=dateFormatter.format(theDate);
currentDate = new java.sql.Date(dateFormatter.parse(formatedDate).getTime())
��
��
��
pst.setDate(12,currentDate);The problem is the currentDate variable gives date only in the �YYYY-MMM-dd� format but requirement is the currentDate variable should give date in the �dd-MMM-YYYY� format and this should be save to table as java.sql.Date type
There is any solution???? please help me...
Thanks and Regards,
Hyson_05

Hi,
What are you talking about? A Date does always wrap a millisecond value, and doesn't have any formatting. It's the database, or your program which formats the date that you see.
In short. You should format the value when you print it, and not when you store it.

               SimpleDateFormat ddf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
                                           String sFrom = ddf.format(new java.util.Date(fromDate));
               String sTo   = ddf.format(new java.util.Date(toDate));
               p.setDate(1, java.sql.Date.valueOf(sFrom));
               p.setDate(2, java.sql.Date.valueOf(sTo));
               ResultSet rs = p.executeQuery();
fromDate and toDate are parameters of type long...

Java.sql.Date vs java.util.Date vs. java.util.Calendar

All I want to do is create a java.sql.Date subclass which has the Date(String) constructor, some checks for values and a few other additional methods and that avoids deprecation warnings/errors.
I am trying to write a wrapper for the java.sql.Date class that would allow a user to create a Date object using the methods:
Date date1 = new Date(2003, 10, 7);ORDate date2 = new Date("2003-10-07");I am creating classes that mimic MySQL (and eventually other databases) column types in order to allow for data checking since MySQL does not force checks or throw errors as, say, Oracle can be set up to do. All the types EXCEPT the Date, Datetime, Timestamp and Time types for MySQL map nicely to and from java.sql.* objects through wrappers of one sort or another.
Unfortunately, java.sql.Date, java.sql.Timestamp, java.sql.Time are not so friendly and very confusing.
One of my problems is that new java.sql.Date(int,int,int); and new java.util.Date(int,int,int); are both deprecated, so if I use them, I get deprecation warnings (errors) on compile.
Example:
public class Date extends java.sql.Date implements RangedColumn {
public static final String RANGE = "FROM '1000-01-01' to '8099-12-31'";
public static final String TYPE = "DATE";
   * Minimum date allowed by <strong>MySQL</strong>. NOTE: This is a MySQL
   * limitation. Java allows dates from '0000-01-01' while MySQL only supports
   * dates from '1000-01-01'.
public static final Date MIN_DATE = new Date(1000 + 1900,1,1);
   * Maximum date allowed by <strong>Java</strong>. NOTE: This is a Java limitation, not a MySQL
   * limitation. MySQL allows dates up to '9999-12-31' while Java only supports
   * dates to '8099-12-31'.
public static final Date MAX_DATE = new Date(8099 + 1900,12,31);
protected int _precision = 0;
private java.sql.Date _date = null;
public Date(int year, int month, int date) {
    // Deprecated, so I get deprecation warnings from the next line:
    super(year,month,date);
    if(! isWithinRange(this))
      throw new ValueOutOfRangeException((RangedColumn)this, "" + this);
public Date(String s) {
    super(0l);
    // Start Cut-and-paste from java.sql.Date.valueOf(String s)
    int year;
    int month;
    int day;
    int firstDash;
    int secondDash;
    if (s == null) throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException();
    firstDash = s.indexOf('-');
    secondDash = s.indexOf('-', firstDash+1);
    if ((firstDash > 0) & (secondDash > 0) & (secondDash < s.length()-1)) {
      year = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(0, firstDash)) - 1900;
      month = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(firstDash+1, secondDash)) - 1;
      day = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(secondDash+1));
    } else {
      throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException();
    // End Cut-and-paste from java.sql.Date.valueOf(String s)
    // Next three lines are deprecated, causing warnings.
    this.setYear(year);
    this.setMonth(month);
    this.setDate(day);
    if(! isWithinRange(this))
      throw new ValueOutOfRangeException((RangedColumn)this, "" + this);
public static boolean isWithinRange(Date date) {
    if(date.before(MIN_DATE))
      return false;
    if(date.after(MAX_DATE))
      return false;
    return true;
public String getRange() { return RANGE; }
public int getPrecision() { return _precision; }
public String getType() { return TYPE; }
}This works well, but it's deprecated. I don't see how I can use a java.util.Calendar object in stead without either essentially re-writing java.sql.Date almost entirely or losing the ability to be able to use java.sql.PreparedStatement.get[set]Date(int pos, java.sql.Date date);
So at this point, I am at a loss.
The deprecation documentation for constructor new Date(int,int,int)says "instead use the constructor Date(long date)", which I can't do unless I do a bunch of expensive String -> [Calendar/Date] -> Milliseconds conversions, and then I can't use "super()", so I'm back to re-writing the class again.
I can't use setters like java.sql.Date.setYear(int) or java.util.setMonth(int) because they are deprecated too: "replaced by Calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, int date)". Well GREAT, I can't go from a Date object to a Calendar object, so how am I supposed to use the "Calendar.set(...)" method!?!? From where I'm sitting, this whole Date deprecation thing seems like a step backward not forward, especially in the java.sql.* realm.
To prove my point, the non-deprecated method java.sql.Date.valueOf(String) USES the DEPRECATED constructor java.util.Date(int,int,int).
So, how do I create a java.sql.Date subclass which has the Date(String) constructor that avoids deprecation warnings/errors?
That's all I really want.
HELP!

I appreciate your help, but what I was hoping to accomplish was to have two constructors for my java.sql.Date subclass, one that took (int,int,int) and one that took ("yyyy-MM-dd"). From what I gather from your answers, you don't think it's possible. I would have to have a static instantiator method like:public static java.sql.Date createDate (int year, int month, int date) { ... } OR public static java.sql.Date createDate (String dateString) { ... }Is that correct?
If it is, I have to go back to the drawing board since it breaks my constructor paradigm for all of my 20 or so other MySQL column objects and, well, that's not acceptable, so I might just keep my deprecations for now.

Add one day to java.sql.date

I ask user to enter a date: yyyy-mm-dd, then I want to add one day to that date, I don't know how to do it?
java.sql.Date time2 = java.sql.Date.valueOf( args[0] );
Many Thanks.

since a date object is really nothing more than a long you can always add one day's worth of milliseconds to it....
long milliInADay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
Date d = ......
d.setTime(d.getTime() + milliInADay);although there may be some issues with this i'm unaware of, but seems pretty straightforward to me.

Convert java.sql.Date to oracle.jbo.domain.Date in oaf

Hi,
Need to dafault NeedBydate(i get in from query as below) to a messagelovinput and make it read only.
i am facing some issue in converting from java.sql.Date to oracle.jbo.domain.Date.
unable to figure out the problem.
below is the sample code im trying to use.
PreparedStatement ps=pageContext.createPreparedStatement("select sysdate from dual");
ResultSet rs=ps.executeQuery();
if (rs!=null && ps.next()
java.sql.Date sqlDate= rs.getDate(1);
oracle.jbo.domain.Date oracleDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate.getTime());
vorow.setAttribute("Datevalue",oracleDate);
this is my assumption : to set to UI i need date in format dd-Mon-yyyy.(am i correct? as to get that format i tried to use simple date format class but no use)
when i tried to use simple date format :unpaseable date exception was raised.
please guide.

Hi,
Why are you using this code???
PreparedStatement ps=pageContext.createPreparedStatement("select sysdate from dual");
ResultSet rs=ps.executeQuery();
if (rs!=null && ps.next()
java.sql.Date sqlDate= rs.getDate(1);
oracle.jbo.domain.Date oracleDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate.getTime());
you can get sysdate using this and then set it
oracle.jbo.domain.Date currentDate = am.getOADBTransaction().getCurrentUserDate();
java.text.SimpleDateFormat displayDateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-MM-dd");
String DateForm = displayDateFormat.format(currentDate.dateValue());
oracle.jbo.domain.Date dateset = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(DateForm);
and then set the attribute
vorow.setAttribute("Datevalue",dateset);
Thanks,
Gaurav

JTextfield input Date convert to java.sql.Date

Hi. I have a textfield for users to input date in 'dd/mm/yyyy' format and I would like to format this input into java.sql.Date to be stored into a database. How should I go about doing that ?
I did the following:
SimpleDateFormat formatDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
java.util.Date invoiceDate = formatDate.parse(jTextField3.getText());
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(invoiceDate.getTime());and when I input into jTextField3 the value '28/05/2008' , I found in my database '2008-01-28'. January and May is a few months off and is totally not what I wanted.

Hi you did you code perfect, but you need to change the pattern for formatting the Date
dd - date
mm - minute
yyyy - year
here you are parsing month as minute, so the output may wrong..!
If you need to format properly
please use the below pattern
{color:#0000ff}SimpleDateFormat formatDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");{color}

Convert string into java.sql.Date

Date aDate = null;
try

     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());

catch (ParseException e)
System.out.println("Unable to parse the date - "+strDate);
catch (Exception ex)

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.
