String to timestamp conversion

I have a string of the format yyyyMMdd:hh:mm:ss.SSSSS.
I need to convert it to a timestamp value of
the format dd-MMM-yy hh.mm.ss.SSSSS.
I tried the following
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd:hh:mm:ss.SSSSS");
java.util.Date date = sdf.parse(stdate);
java.sql.Timestamp t = new java.sql.Timestamp(date.getTime());
but it didnt work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You are right Gogineni, when I got the error, I was using %S in the format string for Format Date/Time String function and %3u in the format string for Scan From String.
I found the solution in this thread - use %S%3u in both places.

Timestamp conversion problem.

I work in the development of a LabVIEW program that communicates with a
server (written in Java). All acquired data is sent via TCP and the
server can read everything (waveforms and other information). However,
there is a problem in timestamp conversion. We don't know how to
convert the milliseconds correctly. The timestamp is inside a waveform,
so we cannot convert it to formatted string.
Example:
Original timestamp:
13:37:19,639
11/10/2005
String generated with "Flatten to String":
0000 0000 BF71 9ABF A3D7 0800 0000 0000
Converted value (Java server):
13:37:19,000
11/10/2005
Does anyone know the algorithm to obtain the milliseconds from this value: "A3D7 0800"?
Thanks for attention.
My regards,
Vinicius Falseth

There is a faster way. You can extract the timestamp from the waveform using Get Waveform Components.
At that point, you can convert it to whatever you want. Attached
is a VI which shows a simple conversion to milliseconds, losing a lot
of resolution (128 bit timestamp goes to 52 bit double) and a more
complex conversion showing the internal structure of the timestamp (it
is a 128 bit fixed point number with the decimal in the middle).
You can modify the second conversion to do such things as throw away
the integer portion to get higher resolution on the fraction. Or
you could just save to Java using a four-integer structure.

I am having a column where most of the values are numeric. Only 4 values are non numeric.
I have replaces those non numeric values to numeric in order to maintain the data type.
CASE Grade.Grade WHEN 'E4' THEN '24' WHEN 'E3' THEN '23' WHEN 'E2' THEN '22' WHEN 'E1' THEN '21' ELSE Grade.Grade END
This comes the result as down

Help to create Materialized View that has timestamp conversion

I need help creating materialized view with timestamp conversion between GMT to LocalTime.
Feel free to make any comments.
Thanks in advance.
jon joaquino;)

Here is one way.
1. Alter the table hist_table and add a new column pdt_timestamp.
2. Update the new column using the function 'new_time'
For example,
Update hist_table
set pdt_timestamp = new_time(gmt_timestamp,'GMT','PDT');
3. create a materialized view log on the table 'hist_table' using the syntax
create materialized view log on hist_table
with primary key, rowid, sequence;
4. create a materialized view now using the syntax:
(You have to specify your own storage numbers and tablespace name)
create materialized view mview_hist_table
pctfree 0 tablespace mymview
storage (initial 16k next 16k pctincrease 0)
build immediate
refresh fast on commit
as select uid,gmt_timestamp,pdt_timestamp
from hist_table;
Please test on your test instance before doing it on production. I have tested this on Oracle 10g for Windows 2000. I assumed that column 'uid' is the primary key on the table. I hope this helps.

Sorry Butterbean, but I'm interested in the answer to your question myself.
I've spent a few hours transfering my library from one computer to another and then find out that my ratings didn't transfer. Like you, I've spent many hours rating my 2000+ songs. I'm sure you have more, nevertheless, I want to find out how to get those ratings. They still show in my iTunes on my laptop but, when I go to the iTunes folder and display the details of at song, no rating is there. If you find out how to get them to display there in the iTunes folder, it seems that would be the key.
Hope you get your answer soon.

"scan from string" to timestamp doesn't work for 18:00:00 (6PM)

I just found a strange issue in LabVIEW. I hope I'm doing something silly, but I just may have found an unusual bug.
run the snippet below with the following for the input string: 03:00:00,18:00:00,17:00:00
Time converts fine for just about any other time EXCEPT 18:00:00 (6 PM) for which it is returned as 00:00:00 (midnight). If you even add a second to it (18:00:01) you get back the expected result.
Here's hoping I'm not loosing my mind

TimeParseBug.vi ‏11 KB

As annoying as it may seem, this exact scenario is an abuse of the timestamp. A timestamp is meant to be used for absolute times. And that includes a date. As Ravens Fan already pointed out, the 0 seconds since January 1, 1904 GMT is used in all timestamp display routines to mean the canonical invalid timestamp and hence the timestamp control displays the default string indicating the actual date/time format rather than a specific date/time.
If you need an absolute timestamp, for instance because you do want to have a local time indication, although the date is not relevant, adding an offset of 86400 to all values would fix it once and for all. Now the timezone offset can't cause the timestamp to reach 0 ever, even if you reside west of GMT, and it will be fine (until you start to do timestamp arithmetic that involves subtraction of relative timespans, then you would have to make the offset big enough that this will never get an issue). The current date would serve as a nice offset for that, which would be MattH's last suggestion. Nice to see that the Scan from String routine actually does use the passed in timestamp as default value and only replaces the values it is configured to parse.

Date Formatting, Converting from String to Timestamp

I am trying to convert a string date to timestamp.
I have tried a couple of different ways to arrive at the end result.
I am basically trying to convert a date in the "dd-MM-yyyy" format to a timestamp.
If I use the following code, I get a date like this "18-May-2004 12:00:00 AM".
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy);
Date dContractDate = sdf.parse("18-05-2004");
long dateInMilli = dContractDate.getTime();
bHelp.bcontractdate = new Timestamp(dateInMilli);
How can I make this code display the current time not midnight or some defaulted value?
Thanks.

I think a clever person would reuse their Date.classObject and call Date.setTime() as opposed to always
rolling out a new Date()
Not really a question of cleverness. Your code wins
nothing. Objects are not magically created and garbage collected in the ether.
The cost of creating a Date is nothing
compared to the cost of a format() call. True, but not valid a valid statement pertaining to the issue which is
"does always rolling dates suffer a performance hit?"
Plus you lost clarity Maybe you loose track of your code if you don't make new Objects all the time,
but I have never suffered from this.
Why do you think Sun provided the setDate() method?
and thread-safety.I have only had Thread issues when I didn't program them properly.
Luckilly I always program the correctly ;) (Touch wood)
The facts as I seem are thus:
Rolling new dates on a 1.83 GHZ PC incurrs on average
a 19% penalty. Here is the proof.
Save this program and save it as DateTest.java
If you don't want to waste the time here are the results of running it
through the default 10 iterations.
Running 10 iterations.
Reuse of dates is 27% more efficient
Reuse of dates is 17% more efficient
Reuse of dates is 18% more efficient

Reuse of dates is 17% more efficient
Reuse of dates is 17% more efficient

Gaining "nothing " actually = 19% on average
Low percent diff = 17 High percent diff = 27
Run it 100 times and it should still be around 19%

Unix timestamp conversion to human readable representation ...

Hi,
I map unix timestamps from MaxDB to the controller context of Web Dynpro and display the results in a table. Is there a smart way to convert the timestamps to human readable date and time? Maybe some way to manipulate the table values with a function before they are written ..?
For now, I create a new node in the context and manually set each value with the according date/time representation ... but thats pretty cumbersome.
Thank you very much for your help!
Cheers,
boris

Hi Boris,
Check http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
Date currentTime_1 = new Date(longUnixTimestamp);
String dateString = formatter.format(currentTime_1);
I would suggest you to create a calculated attribute under the same node as initial timestamp value and return a result of SimpleDateFormat.format().
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Why do you have the square brackets around the scan from string format string? They are not there when you generate the timestamp string so it will fail when trying to convert it back as they are expected to be there.
