Re: JDBC date insert

That is similar to what I came up with:

String[] mdy = date.split("/");
java.text.SimpleDateFormat ymd = new
java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
java.util.GregorianCalendar cal = new java.util.GregorianCalendar(
Integer.parseInt(mdy[2]), Integer.parseInt(mdy[0]),
Integer.parseInt(mdy[1]));
String dt = ymd.format(cal.getTime());

I did not want to hard-code the date format like that but at this point a
non-ideal solution is better than no solution.

Thanks,
Todd

I would think you should be able to use the SimpleDateFormat then to format
the date.

Probably not the most elegant, but...

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

public class TestStringDate {

/**
* @param args
* @throws Exception
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
int month = 0;
int day = 0;
int year = 0;
String stringDate = "11/4/2008";
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(stringDate);
scanner.useDelimiter("/");
int part = 0;
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
part++;
if (part > 3)
break;
if (scanner.hasNextInt()) {
switch (part) {
case 1:
month = scanner.nextInt() - 1;
break;
case 2:
day = scanner.nextInt();
break;
case 3:
year = scanner.nextInt();
break;
}
continue;
}
}

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, day);
String s = sdf.format(cal.getTime());
System.out.println(s);
}

}


This will at least give you a string in the format you need.

I agree (again) that using strings is not ideal. Your guess is more or
less accurate. I'm using a set of classes for database access that does
not currently provide for SQL date objects.
