I am using the preparedStatement to insert into the database and retrieve from the database.
My problem is when i am retreiving from the database datetime are not coming.
my preparedSTatement looks like this.,
PreparedStatement insert1ps=con.prepareStatement("insert into topic_category values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
insert1ps.setInt(1,topic_id);
insert1ps.setInt(2,article_id);
insert1ps.setInt(3,author_id);
insert1ps.setString(4,heading);
insert1ps.setString(5,article);
insert1ps.setDate(6,sqldate);
insert1ps.setInt(7,archives);
insert1ps.setInt(8,verify);
insert1ps.setInt(9,no_views);
I am using the above statements for inserting into the database.
PreparedStatement selectaa = con.prepareStatement("select tc.topic_description,tc.datetime,aa.fname,tc.topic_head,aa.lname,tc.no_views from topic_category tc,article_author aa where tc.author_id=aa.author_id and tc.topic_id="+topic_id);
ResultSet rss=selectaa.executeQuery();
<td style="{font-family:verdana;font-size:12;color:#03065f}">
Posted on :<%=rss.getTimestamp(2)%></td>
And using this statement for retrieving.
Is there any error in the above
