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.

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.

Rajapriya.R.

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.

@Embeddable with java.uitil.Date in JPQL (limitations ?)

I'm facing with problem regarding using java.util.Date in JPQL query.
Here are sample entities for test case:
@Embeddable
public class EmbCompTest implements Serializable{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
     private Date beginPeriod;
     @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
     private Date endPeriod;
                   // getters and setters goes here (...)
@Entity
@Table(name="TEST_DATE")
@NamedQueries(
   @NamedQuery(name="getByDate",query="select e from TestDate e where e.beginDate=:beginDatePm"),
   @NamedQuery(name="getByDate2",query="select e from TestDate e where e.emb.beginPeriod=:beginPeriodPm")
public class TestDate {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 6651720114733319974L;
     @Id
     private Long id;
     @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
     private Date beginDate;
     @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
     private Date endDate;
     @Embedded
     private EmbCompTest emb;
                     // getters and setters goes here (...)
The problem is in named query getByDate2 which causes persistence unit fail to start with exception
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Method must not be called with
argument "java.util.Date" or "java.util.Calendar"
Is that some SAP JPA limitation that makes unable to query by date defined in @Embeddable classes ?
Of course query getByDate works fine.
Best Regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
the query getByDate2 is OK and should work. This looks like a bug to me. If you have access to OSS, please file a ticket on BC-JAS-PER-JPA.
Have you tried typing beginPeriod with java.sql.Date. This might work. (I have not tried).

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());
}

Unable to insert dates and blobs with java.sql.PreparedStatement

____________ at this point i receive an SQL Exception that said
invalid delimiter in string
i also tried with VALUES
(?,TO_DATE('?', 'YYYY-MM-DD'),?,?,?,TO_DATE('?', 'YYYY-MM-DD'))
and the result was invalid month in date
Thanks for your help!

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.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...

Error IllegalArgumentException in java.sql.Date used PreparedStatement

I'm found bug (probably). I have a table with column DATA type. Now I connect do database use JDBC in Java, and create PreparedStatement:
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement("insert into \"Appuser\" (\"IDUser\", \"createAccountDate\") values (?,?)");
Column createAccountDate is a DATA type. And now I invoke:
stmt.setInt(1, 1);
stmt.setInt(2, new java.sql.Date(-2508265596206959779));
stmt.execute();
and last line return exception:

Another values of Data are OK. Probably value -2508265596206959779 cause that error.
It's a bug? Better will be SQLException if it is a bug.
My configuration:

PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production

NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
Windows XP SP3, Java 1.6.0_20,
ojdbc14.jar, Oracle JDBC Driver version - "10.2.0.1.0XE

Probably value -2508265596206959779 cause that errorMaybe, whatever that .date( -ReallyLotsOfmSec ) date values is, pretty sure its outside the valid values for a date column, 4712BC to 9999AD is the min/max.
Perhaps the java code can handle it, an oracle date type can not.

Java, access database( mdb) and java.sql.date

I having a problem querying my access database with user specified date the code is as follows
//get results of income from database with respectto dates
     //so u first create the sql.date instances
     private void getResults(){
     String text1=from.getText();//text input is like this 01-01-2005
          String text2=to.getText();
     Date d1=new Date(Integer.parseInt(text1.substring(6)),Integer.parseInt(text1.substring(3,5)),Integer.parseInt(text1.substring(0,2)));
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,d1.toString());//traces date with 1900 added to year and 1 added to month
     try{
          //custom class DataSource used to connect to database
          Connection conn=DataSource.getConnection("RealFotoInc");
          PreparedStatement ps=conn.prepareStatement("select * from Members where date=?");
          ps.setDate(1,d1);
          ResultSet rs=ps.executeQuery();
          while(rs.next()){
               System.out.println("going");
               System.out.println("trial"+rs.getString(3));
     }catch(Exception se){
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,se);
     }and it prints out nothing I dont know what is wrong

Whoever put that comment in there about "1900" and so on knew what had to be done. That "Date" class must be "java.sql.Date"; go and read the API documentation of that constructor you are using there. Then adjust the parameters you are passing to it accordingly.

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...

Brian

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

}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.

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

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.
