RE: JDBC date insert

I have a free utility called iDate that is available at
www.think400.dk/downloads that handles converting string or decimal
values to true date data types assuming you are calling to an AS/400. It
is a User Defined Function.

Select iDate('1/1/2008','*MDCCYY') from sysibm.SYSDUMMY1

will give you a date data type back.

You might have to use something like

Select library.iDate('1/1/2008','*MDCCYY') from sysibm.SYSDUMMY1

Where library is the library where the user defined function is located.
Sometimes SQL cannot find the function and you must tell it explicitly
where the function is located.

Full instructions are included with the product.

Hi Todd,

I agree with both Paul and James.

If you need to specify values other than the current date and time,
use the valueOf() methods of java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time,
java.sql.Timestamp with the values in standard escape syntax. That will
work on any database with a compliant driver.

See:

http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=422110

under " The second method..." for an example, and review the javadocs.

It is a prepared statement but I was trying to keep the Java code

simple

by
dealing with only strings. It seems I'll need to do the conversion in

the

Java code rather than in the SQL statement.

Thanks,
Todd

Well, don't do it that way. Just use a PreparedStatement. It takes

care

of all those annoying details on your behalf.

java.util.Date date = // a date 11/5/2008 with time 4:02:04
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("insert into myfile
(cmdate, cmtime) values(?, ?)");
ps.setDate(1, new java.sql.Date(date.getTime()));
ps.setTime(2, new java.sql.Time(date.getTime()));
ps.executeUpdate();

Subject: JDBC date insert

I am having trouble with a JDBC insert of a string into date or time
columns in a database table. The same command works fine from the SQL
green screen.
The insert statement fails with the "Data type mismatch" SQL

exception.

The odd thing is that this only fails when the date or time does not
have all leading zeros.
Date of 11/14/2008 - success
Date of 11/4/2008 - error
Time of 22:00:00 - success
Time of 4:00:00 - error

The insert statement looks like this:

insert into myfile (cmdate, cmtime) values(cast('11/5/2008' as date),
cast('4:02:04' as time))

Thanks,
Todd
