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}

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

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,

Shows up following error msg:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from java.util.Date to java.sql.Date
I don't think this exception is thrown from the portion of code you have shown. As clearly specified in exception message, you cannot cast an instance of java.util.Date to java.sql.Date. you will need to do something like this
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
long t = today.getTime();
java.sql.Date dt = new java.sql.Date(t);

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());
}

Hi,
Kindly let me know how I can convert a string like
"20061102" (YYYYMMDD) to a Date type (java.sql.date) in web Dynpro.
Requirement is to set a DateType context Attribute with
the value contained in the String ("20061102" ).
Awaiting your kind responses..
Regards,

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!

Any latest addition regarding java.sql.Date

I have separate strings "10/21/2003" and "02:33:27".
Just to convert String "10/21/2003" to sql date, do I really need to call up simple date format and parsing it?
why? there is no time associated with this string. The time is on a separate string.
I am using preparedstatement.

Did I do unnecessary steps in getting to sql.Date ?
String sDate = "10/16/2003";
String sTime = "02:12:54:;
String year = sDate.substring(6,9);
String month = sDate.substring(0,1);
String day = sDate.subst....
String sDateNew = year + "-" + month + "-" + day;
// the string becomes 2003-10-16.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
java.util.Date uDate = sdf.parse(sDateNew);
long time = uDate.getTime();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(time);
pstmt.setDate(i, sqlDate);
It works, but did I put in extra steps ?
I tried using the same trick for sTime, but that did not work out.

Conversions between java.util.Date, java.util.Timestamp and java.sql dates

I am coding a hoilday booking system using JSP to interact with a SQL Server database. On my JSP form which retrieves the information I have a little javascript pop-up date selector which appears to be returning a Timestamp value although the string value is visable in the entry field. Can I pass this to a javabean as a Timestamp, so far I have only passed strings? Also I then have to enter it in the database and so will need to convert it to an sql date type but I dont know which one is best. Previous to using the Timestamp returning calendar I was just entering text and parsing it to a util.Date in the bean and then converting that to an sql.Date for entry in the database. That worked fine but I want to use the pop-up any ideas? Also my bean won't compile if I declare java.util.Timestamp t;(cannot resolve symbol Timestamp !) even though I have imported util.

First of all, java.util.Timestamp does not exist. You probably need java.sql.Timestamp.
java.sql.Date and java.sql.Timestamp inherit from java.util.Date. So converting from java.sql.Date or java.sql.Timestamp to java.util.Date is easy, you don't have to do anything.
To convert a java.util.Date to a java.sql.Timestamp, do something like this:
import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.util.Date;
Date date = new Date();
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());Jesper

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.standardError (JdbcOdbc.java:7036)
        at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.SQLExecDirect (JdbcOdbc.java:3065)
        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.
Matt

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

JTextfield input Date convert to java.sql.Date
