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>);

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.

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

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.

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!

(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.

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...

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);

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}
