Question

I have written the following function in Java. This function returns current timestamp by executing a query. The function code is as follows :

private  String getTimeStamp(){
    String timeStamp=null;      
    try{
        String strQuery="select current_timestamp";
        PreparedStatement pmtQuery=con.prepareStatement(strQuery);
        ResultSet rsQuery=pmtQuery.executeQuery();
        rsQuery.next();
        timeStamp=rsQuery.getString(1);
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Value of timeStamp : "+timeStamp);
    }catch(SQLException e){
        System.out.println("SQL Exception in the getTimeStamp()");
    }       
    return timeStamp;
} 

When I use this function on windows It gives proper out put and works fine.
Ex.

If execute above function in widows it gives timestamp like ex. 2011-06-01 17:05:03

but when I execute this function in Debina linux it gives timestamp as
2011-06-01 17:05:03.0

It appends .0 to timestamp

Please guide me in this problem

Use this

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE(), '%d/%m/%Y %hh%mm%ss')

Note:

I wonder why you are querying to get the currentDate
