stmt=conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(s1);

What’s wrong with this below merge statement I always get error as 

Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 8

I am trying to convert String date time to Date dataType in oracle sql in prepare statment

ps =  conn.prepareStatement(
"MERGE INTO testing " +
"USING (  SELECT ? AS url, " +      // We will maybe add this record
"                ? AS urlHash, " +
"                ? AS contentHash, "+
"        TO_DATE(?, 'YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH24:MI:SS'Z'') AS modDate, "+
"        ? AS contentLocation, "+
"        ? AS status, "+
"      TO_DATE(?, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') AS lastCrawlDate "+
"           FROM dual ) maybe "+
"   ON (maybe.urlHash = testing.urlHash) "+
"       WHEN MATCHED THEN "+
// We only need update the fields that might have changed
"       UPDATE SET testing.contentHash     = maybe.contentHash, "+
"                  testing.modDate         = maybe.modDate, "+
"                  testing.contentLocation = maybe.contentLocation, "+
"                  testing.status          = maybe.status, "+
"                  testing.lastCrawlDate   = maybe.lastCrawlDate "+
// But only if the new record is more recent
"        WHERE TO_CHAR(testing.modDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH24:MI:SS'Z'') < TO_CHAR(maybe.modDate, ''YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH24:MI:SS'Z''') "+
"       WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN "+
// Insert new URL record
"   INSERT VALUES (test_seq.nextval, maybe.url, maybe.urlHash, maybe.contentHash, maybe.modDate, maybe.contentLocation, maybe.status, maybe.lastCrawlDate)");


    ps.setString (1, "http://www.computergeeks.com");
    ps.setString (2, "ahsasoiowiewie");
    ps.setString (3, "sgasjwhwueybdbfndf");

    The date format in your first TO_DATE call is no good — you’re trying to use single quotes inside a single-quoted string, so it ends up not being enclosed properly. Probably this is giving the parser fits, resulting in a not very sensible error message.

    In an Oracle date format, the literal bits need to be enclosed in double quotes, not single:

    select TO_DATE('2011-07-28T23:54:14Z', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"Z"') from dual;

    You need to embed the format 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"Z"' in your SQL statement. Make sure you escape the double quotes properly so they don’t terminate the Java string.
