Question

What is the date format to use with open office database version 3.3

Upon trying the following query it is showing

java.sql.SQLDataException: data exception: invalid datetime format

the query i used is

int status=stmt.executeUpdate("insert into \"Emp_Leave\" values(9876321,'8-9-11','9-9-11','pay','grant')");

here Emp_leave is the table in the database:

First column : EmpID ; Number
second column: StartDate:Date
Third column : LastDate : Date
Fourth column: Type:String
Fifth column : comments:String

Answer 1

Assuming this is an internal [HSQLDB] database, I think you’ll need to specify ‘2011-09-09’:

A DATE literal starts and ends with ‘ (singlequote), the format is yyyy-mm-dd (see java.sql.Date)

(from HSQLDB Insert reference)
