Question

                java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
                java.sql.Date today = new java.sql.Date(date.getTime()); //2012-03-23
                java.sql.Time time = new java.sql.Time(date.getTime()); //02:32:46
                PreparedStatement pst = null;
String queryString = "INSERT INTO PR_VISITOR(PRISONER_ID,VISITOR_NAME,FATHER_NAME,DOV,IN_TIME) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)";
                        pst = connect.prepareStatement(queryString);
                        pst.setString(1, pr_id);
                        pst.setString(2, visit);
                        pst.setString(3, father);
                        pst.setDate(4, today);
                        pst.setTime(5, time);
                        int officerQuery = pst.executeUpdate();
                        if (officerQuery == 1) {
                            response.sendRedirect("/FYP3.4/prisonAdmin/visitor_out.jsp");
                            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Visitor information registered !!", "Visitor Information", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
                        } else {
                            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Unable to Add information !!", "Visitor Information", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
                        }

By using the above code i’m trying to insert the current date and time into table,which have the separate columns. When i’m executing the above query then it insert the todays date in the time IN_TIME field too.

EDIT

DATATYPE OF IN_TIME and DOV are DATE .

Need Help.. !!

Answer 1

Since DOV and IN_TIME is date you don’t need to separate date and hour. The type date in Oracle holds date and time. I suggest you change your table to have just one date column.

To insert the current time you can use the Oracle’s sysdate function:

INSERT INTO PR_VISITOR(PRISONER_ID,VISITOR_NAME,FATHER_NAME,DATETIME_COLUMN) VALUES (?,?,?,?,SYSDATE)

To format your output of the date value you can use the SimpleDateFormat class in Java or to_char in Oracle.
