hi, for inserting a date into the database, i use the following code.
Calendar cal; // The date to be inserted String colValue = ""; colValue = "'"+(cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1)+"/"+cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)+"/"+cal.g et(Calendar.YEAR) +" "+cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + ":"+cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)+"'"; then.. String sql = "Insert into table(...) values ('aa'," + colValue + ")" then use sql for inserting the record. hth, Nagarajan. > -----Original Message----- > From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bhushan_Bhangale > Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 11:14 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: sql Date > > > You cannot cast a java.util.Date to a java.sql.Date since the util.Date is > the parent class of sql Date. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Emmanuel Eze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 1:46 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: sql Date > > > Even if I do that, how do I then convert the java.util.Date to > java.sql.Date? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bhushan_Bhangale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 11:05 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: sql Date > > > First of all:- > > java.util.sql birthday = null; should be java.util.Date > birthday = null; > > as the Calendar.getTime() method returns a util date object. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Emmanuel Eze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 1:34 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: sql Date > > > Hi all, > > Can somebody pls tell me how I can insert a Date type into a > database table > with a Date datatype? > > I have the year, month, and day as integer values.
