)Subject: Date functions returning Strings
)
)
)Hi,
)
) I'm using MM JDBC driver version 2.0.4 to access a MySQL database
)3.23.40 on Solaris 2.8.
)
) When I do the following query "SELECT NOW()", I always get String data
)and not Date data when fetching the data.
)
) Is it normal that Date functions returns a String? Is this a
)MySQL bug?
)
Someone pointed this already. There is nothing to do with the server, its
all up to the driver how it is storing and returning the results to the
application.
Here mmmysql driver is returning timestamp stuff as string object instead of
date object. Becuase of this there might be chances of getting the
exceptions even if are assigned it to the date object.
Any way, I will pass this to the JDBC development team.
Regards, venu
