Ned to insert current Date AND Time in a table

Hi:
This should be a simple one. I need to insert the current (system) date AND time in a columnof a table. From the documentation, it appears that the column datatype should be DATE (at least it claims to be able to support both date and time). It is also claimed that SYSDATE contains the current system date and time. But when I try to insert SYSDATE into a DATE column, all that gets logged is the date (without the time of day).
insert into foo (curr_date_time) values (sysdate);
select curr_date_time from foo;
CURR_DATE
02-AUG-07
THere must be some way to instruct the insertion of the time as well. Also, the YY-MMM-DD format is undesirable. I'd prefer "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS". An attempt to insert TO_DATE(SYSDATE,'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS') fails as well.
Any suggestions?
P.S. I entered this question yesterday, Aug 6th, but it didn't seem to stick for some reason.

Your NLS_DATE_FORMAT is set to show only the DATE element. If you run this query:
SELECT to_char(curr_date,'HH:MI:SS')
FROM your_table
/You would see that the time element has been populated as well.

As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to insert current date and time in message that you are writing?

As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to QUICKLY insert current date and time in message that you are writing?
Literally have seen this very-much-needed -- and used -- option "promised" for three years now, and even if there's only one or two formats that could be used, at least the option is there.
It seems only way is to link a Macro and tool to Thunderbird and do it that way.

Where was it promised? A quick search of Bugzilla didn't find a functionality request bug report for it.
I assume you're aware that Mozilla stopped development about 2 years ago (just adds security/stability fixes and provides infrastructure) and all new features and bug fixes are now added by the community. They seem pretty tied up with bug fixes and reworking some hard to maintain components such as the MIME support.
Have you tried the Timestamp add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/timestamp/ ? The version at AMO doesn't support versions later than 2.0 so you'd need to do something like install the disable add-on compatibility checks add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/?src=ss, and ignore the warning message about Timestamp not being compatible. However, the author has a version at http://extensions.sanjer.nl/?page=tb_ts that supposedly supports up to Thunderbird 11.9.x so it should be "compatible by default as it supports version 5 or later and is not a binary add-on like Lightning or Enigmail.
"For Thunderbird use the context menu (right click popup) in the compose window, Ctrl+Shift+T or "Options | Insert timestamp" to inserts the date/time into a message"

Insert current date and time into Oracle date type field

I have a JDBC current date and time insert into Oracle 9i that almost works. It submits the current date and a fixed time into the Oracle date type field. I am using Tomcat 6.0.20.
For example if I insert the data at 7:24:04 PM on Feb 16, 2010 it will insert as: 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
The date part works but the time always shows 12:00:00 AM no matter what date or time the data is inserted.
Here is what I have for my JDBC inserts and I also tried something with DateFormat:
PreparedStatement ps; Date mydate = new Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()); //insert statement here.... stmt.setDate(1,mydate);
I also tried:
PreparedStatement ps; java.sql.Timestamp mydate = new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime()); SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(.... //insert statement here.... ps.setTimestamp(1,fmt.format(mydate));
Both keep submitting the date into Oracle as 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
Anyway to get the current date and time? For example if I insert the data at 7:24.04 pm today it should show as 16-Feb-2010 07:24.04 PM in Oracle.

If you want a date and time then use java.sql.Timestamp.

Displaying Current Date and Time in JSP

Hi,
I need to insert the current date time in Ms SQL Server Database using jsp page. The format of the code willbe
insert into table(update_date) values ('2007-01-01 10:02:21');
But i am not getting how to display the current date and time ie. 2007-01-01 10:02:21 using jsp.
I have tried using
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
String dd = sdf.format(cal.getTime());
insert into table(update_date) values (dd);
But it didnot get inserted data.
Can anybody figure out with simple ideas.
Thank You

Why then are you trying to insert the current date on a table?
To show the current date on the JSP you might try
<%=new Date()%>Or the way you had it on your first post with the date formatter and then use the <%=%> tags. Anyway, it seems to me I'm not really understanding what you actually want to do :-p
P.S. NOW() is a MySQL function too, not only MSSQL server (didn't even know it had it too ;-))
mysql> insert into a(up) values (now());
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from a;

Inserting Current Date with time stamp in oracle database

Hi Experts,
I want to insert the current Date and time stamp in a field in the Oracle Database Table.
I am able to insert date but i am not able to insert the date with time stamp. Any Suggestions??
Thanks
Naveen

Naveen,
Do you want to get current date (from sysdate) with a specific format or transform a value containing a date/time value to insert it in ORACLE ?
Usually, you insert current datetimestamp in a date field using this :
TO_DATE(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss')
you may have to tweak the format pattern ('dd/mm....') according to your needs
if you want to transform a date, use something like this:
TO_DATE(your_date,your_format)
but make sure your format is compliant with your date, ie
TO_DATE('31/12/2008','MM/DD/YYYY') could raise error (litteral does not match) cuz ORACLE can't recognize 31 as a month pattern

What is the best way to captue current date and time?

I got a field in table to capute current date and time...i am
using SQL Server.
field name datatype length
enter_datetime datetime 8
What is the best way to get current date and time and insert
to table?.
Is this way?.
<cfset curtime = 'dateformat(#now()#,'mm/dd/yyyy')&"
"&timeformat(#now()#,'hh:mm:ss')'>
This way looks like time is not entered correctly.
or any other better way?.

> get current date and time and insert to table?
You can use cfqueryparam
<cfqueryparam value="#now()#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
Or as was suggested, set the default for your table column to
getdate(). Then you won't have to insert anything. Sql server will
do it automatically when a new record is created.

Edited by: user9519185 on Jan 20, 2009 3:04 AM

Use a formula: =NOW()
Format the cell for Date and Time, with both the Date part and the Time part displayed. Format the two parts as you wish, using the choices in the Inspector's menus.
The cell will update each time the table is recalculated.

Problem with getting current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date

I`d like to get current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date method getCurrentDate(), but it always return current date and 12:00:00. I also need to get the current time.

I think you should use java.sql.Timestamp domain.
(And set database type to TIME or DATETIME.)

Current date and time

What is the simpliest call in Visual C++ with Measurement Studio to extract the current date and time? I am trying to have such info as 1315032804 for March 28th, 2004 at 1:15 pm. Thanks in advance for your advice.

There are a few options, depending on what format you want the time and what kind of operations you're planning to do with it:
ATL/MFC - CTime::GetCurrentTime
ATL/MFC - COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime
Win32 - GetSystemTime
Win32 - GetLocalTime

I Need to Write the current Date and Time

I need to write the current date and time to calculate the spend time in each instruction.
What is the instrucion?
Thanks.

The current time can be determined with a Date object:
Date now = new java.util.Date() ;or if you are interested in the seconds since the epoch:
System.currentTimeMillis() ;If you wanted to print them out:
System.out.println( new java.util.Date() ) ;
System.out.println( System.currentTimeMillis() ) ;Kenny

Wrote the current Date and Time in the backend

HI everyone,
I created a table view, where I display several records. Right now I will add an record to this table, which should be written back in the backend and automaticaly add the current date and time.
But I don´t know to make this. I tried several time with the funktion "now()", but it doesn´t work. So any help for me, to explain how I can display the actual time and then write it back to the backend?
Thanks

we use a crm system. but the BAPI I mentioned was
just to play with. My basis will develop a new API
for the project, that have the requested Inputfields.
But what I tottaly forget was, that there has to be a
field for the time, so thanks for the advice.
No Problem.
I´m still of the opinion , that it should be possible
to add the curret time in a field with the
funcionality of the VC, even there is a way to show a
clock with the current time. My problem is that I
can´t figuer out how to do this.
Therefore you can use the TNow() function (Time functions) and the Now() Function (Date functions). You can cast them to a string and concatenate the string, then you have the date of today with the current time. This string you can format and transfer it as input for your BAPI_ADD_BP for example.
Hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Put the current date and time in a string

I am having trouble trying to put the current date and time from my Calendar object into a string
any ideas?

Calendar timeCal = Calendar.getInstance();
timeCal.setTime(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime ));
String date = formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)) + ":" +
formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)) + ":" +
formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.SECOND));
private String formatToTwoDigits(int i) {
String ret = null;
i = i % 100;
if (i < 10) {
ret = "0" + Integer.toString(i);
} else {
ret = Integer.toString(i);
return ret;
You can figure out yourselve how to display the date, use other Calendar.XXX properties.
Good luck!
