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.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.

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

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.

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.
Regards,
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.

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.

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.

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 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);

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());
}

(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.

How can af:selectInputDate be sent to database as java.sql.Date???

I want to send seletInpuDate component value throught to DB as java.sql.Date format, selectInputDate value returns java.util.Date.

Use setTimestamp() instead.
This allows you to specify date and / or time

                                           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...

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.
