Java.sql.Date output help

i want to add a date to a mysql databse but im getting incorrect info...
here is a similiar code to what i have in my software
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.sql.Date;
public class test {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
        Date d = new Date(year, month, day);
        System.out.println(d);
}i get 3906-09-06 as an output...please help

Date d = new Date(year, month, day);
The year is a number from 1900. So u need to substract 1900 from the value u got before.

Needed help regarding converting string to java.sql.Date format

I have a a function which returns a calendar object. The date must be inserted to Oracle DB using java.sql.Date format.
So i have converted the Calendar object to java.sql.Date format using the following code
java.sql.Date publicationDate = new java.sql.Date(book.getPublicationDate().getTime().getTime());But while getting inserted into the DB it was in mm/dd/yyyy format whereas i wanted dd/mm/yyyy format
Can any body please help out how to store the date in dd/mm/yyyy format ?

Can u please explain this a bit
This is my code
public int addBook(List<Book> BookList) throws SQLException, ParseException{

Put java.sql.Date in correct format

I need to put java.sql.Date in correct format to query an Oracle database.
Here is my code:
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
        java.util.Date dateChosen = jXDatePicker1.getDate();
        String strDate = formatter.format(dateChosen);
        System.out.println("Date Chosen: " + strDate); // output is: 11-Feb-00
        java.util.Date parserDate = null;
        try {
            parserDate = formatter.parse(strDate);
        } catch (ParseException re) {
            System.err.println("Exception caught: " + re.getMessage());
        // create java.sql.Date object
            java.sql.Date oraDate = new java.sql.Date(parserDate.getTime());
        System.out.println(oraDate); // date is in this format: 2000-02-11
        System.out.println("formatted oraDate: " + formatter.format( oraDate ) ); // no good, stringIf I use formatter.format( oraDate ) I get the correct format (11-Feb-00) BUT it is no longer a sql Date, it is a String which can't be use.
I have looked at the API and many other forum threads on this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the class with the PreparedStatement, I pass the date like this:
public class report extends javax.swing.JDialog {
     java.sql.Date newDate;
    public report(java.sql.Date passedOraDate, String passedtxtDate) {
        super();
        initComponents();
        setTitle("Report");
        setModal(true);
        newDate = passedOraDate;
        statusLabel.setText(passedtxtDate);
        System.out.println("passedtxtDate: " +passedtxtDate);
        System.out.println("newDate: " +newDate);
    }Here is the code that uses the actual PreparedStatement:
        try {
            // In my actual code I have all columns listed in query
            String query = "SELECT * FROM report WHERE repdate = ?";
            ps = conn.prepareStatement(query); // create a statement
                       ps.setDate(1, newDate); // set input parameter
            rs = ps.executeQuery();
            // extract data from the ResultSet
            ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
            int columns = md.getColumnCount();This is greatly edited to show relevant code!

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.

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?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.

(Again) java.util.Date vs java.sql.Date

Hi there,
(Again) Im trying to understand the EXACT difference between
java.util.Date vs java.sql.Date.
Googling, I can see that this is a very "popular" subject, but I still
cannot figure out it exactly.
Many writers claim that java.sql.Date only stores the DATE part (yyyy-
mm-dd) but not the TIME part (hh:MM:ss) of a Date/Time value, but that
I can easily disprove:
java.util.Date ud = new java.util.Date(); java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getTime()); System.out.println(DateFormatUtils. format(ud, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS")); System.out.println(DateFormatUtils. format(sd, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"));
Output:
2009-09-18 15:17:36.635 2009-09-18 15:17:36.635
So, apparently, java.sql.Date and java.util.Date have THE SAME
precision (at least down to the millisecs...).
And the official API documentation, really looks more confusing than
helpful to me::
*"java.sql.Date:*
*A thin wrapper around a millisecond value that allows JDBC to identify*
*this as an SQL DATE value. A milliseconds value represents the*
*number of milliseconds that have passed since January 1, 1970*
*00:00:00.000 GMT.*
*To conform with the definition of SQL DATE, the millisecond values*
*wrapped by a java.sql.Date instance must be 'normalized' by setting*
*the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds to zero in the*
*particular time zone with which the instance is associated. "*
Exactly what means "an SQL DATE value" ? How EXACTLY does it differ
from a java.util.Date value?
Most importantly: WHY does JDBC need to distinguish between them?
And, here again: *"a java.sql.Date instance must be 'normalized' by*
*setting the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds to zero in the*
*particular time zone..."*
What does that mean exactly? Apparently, the constructor doesnt
enforce this restriction, per the example above. So what's the REAL
point with this type, java.sql.Date?
Very greatful, if you can help me clarify this, once and for all.
TIA,

And the official API documentation, really looks more confusing than helpful to me:The problem is that you need to understand SQL as well as Java for this to make sense. It's not the Java API's job to tell you how your SQL database works - there's a myriad of subtle differences even when the DB is compliant with the SQL spec.
Most compliant databases support DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP values. DATE represents only a date. TIME represents only a time. TIMESTAMP represents both. There are further complicating factors, but that's roughly how it stands.
In Java the normal type for representing time is (or was when the API was created) the java.util.Date but this is a close approximation only to the TIMESTAMP value. In order to bring the two together the java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time and java.sql.Timestamp classes were created. Making them derive from java.util.Date was probably not a good idea.
java.util.Date suffers from a number of deficiencies. java.util.Calendar was supposed to address them but didn't really succeed. The JodaTime library is rather better, but it's all a lot more complicated than you might expect - partly because time management really is a much harder problem than it appears at first glance - there are timezones, leap years, leap seconds, the difference between astronomical and atomic time, and so on and so forth.

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.

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.

Problem Writing java.sql.Date to MS Access

I have a relatively simple application that is for my own use (not distributed on an enterprise-wide basis). As I don't have an IT staff, I'm using a rudimentary Java front-end (v1.3.1) and a Microsoft Access backend.
I seem to have trouble using INSERT/UPDATE statements with the MS Access Date/Time data type. Below is an example of code being used (id is defined as Text, amount is a Number and timestamp is Date/Time):
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:markets", "", "");
conn.setAutoCommit(true);
String sql = "INSERT INTO temp (id, amount, timestamp) VALUES (?, ?, ?)";
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
String id = args[0];
int len = id.length();
java.sql.Date dt = new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime());
stmt.setString(1, id);
stmt.setDouble(2, id.length());
// I think the problem is here - the JDBC driver doesn't properly map dates to Access???
stmt.setDate(3, dt);
stmt.execute();
stmt.close();
conn.close();And I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access
Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.
        at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException (JdbcOdbc.java:6879)
        at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError (JdbcOdbc.java:7036)

        at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcStatement.execute (JdbcOdbcStatement.java:338)
        at TestWritingDate.main(TestWritingDate.java:31) I'm virtually certain this is a translation problem with
the java.sql.Date and the JDBC driver. But I can't seem
to overcome this. Any help is DESPERATELY needed.
Thanks.

That was it....thanks...didn't even consider that....perhaps I should start using class names that are already in use too :-). Thanks again...

How do I create a Dynamic java.sql.Date ArrayList or Collection?

I Have a MySQL table with a Datetime field with many values inserted.
I want to know which is the Best way to capture all the Inserted DB values inside a Dynamic Array.
I get errors that state that I should use Matching data-types, and plus I don't know how to create or fill a Dynamic Date ArrayList/Collection.

Thank you very much Sir.

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 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());
}

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.

PreparedStatement.setDate(1,java.sql.Date x) problem

I am using Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge to access MS SQL Server 2000. I have following statement:
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date expire_date = new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
PreparedStatement pstat = con.prepareStatement("update account set expire_date=? where userid=?");
pstat.setDate(1,expire_date);
pstat.setString(2,userid);
When I ran the program, I got a SQLException error as
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Optional features not implemented.
I have traced the problem happened in the statement pstat.setDate(1,expire_date). I use jdbc-odbc bridge from j2se 1.3.1.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks, Brian

May I refer to a recent topic where I explained a lot about date conversion between JDBC and SQLServer?

OpenSQLException - object of type java.sql.Date is not normalized

Hi,
I am attempting to code an SQL query in an EJB and get the following exception:
com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: The object of type java.sql.Date with the value '2010-06-04 13:21:09.424' assigned to host variable 1 is not normalized. It must not contain time components in the time zone running the virtual machine. at com.sap.sql.log.Syslog.createAndLogOpenSQLException(Syslog.java:85) at com.sap.sql.log.Syslog.createAndLogOpenSQLException(Syslog.java:124) at com.sap.sql.jdbc.common.CommonPreparedStatement.setDate(CommonPreparedStatement.java:650) at......
Below is the code snippet I am using:
                    private static String selWQ = "Select * from ZZZZ_TABLE " +
                                                                   "where DATEFROM >= ? " +
                                                              "and DATETO <= ? ";
     public UsageRecord[] getRecords(Date fromDate,Date toDate)
          UsageRecord[] ura = null;
          String q          = null;
          ArrayList al      = new ArrayList();
          try
               q = selWQ;
               conn.open();
               PreparedStatement p = conn.prepareStatement(q);
               p.setDate(1, fromDate);
               p.setDate(2,toDate);
               ResultSet rs = p.executeQuery();
I have a PreparedStatement and am using setDate to set the values. The fromDate and toDate parameters are of type java.sql.Date
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it?
thanks
Brian

As requested, here is an example of what I used to resolve this:
               PreparedStatement p = conn.prepareStatement(q);
               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...
regards
Brian
