数据库中的日期格式为yyyy / MM / dd，我希望它来自MM / dd / yyyy

Question

Hello in my web application i ve used SimpleDateFormat to convert string to date and in the format MM/dd/yyyy but when the form fields get inserted in the database its in the format yyyy/MM/dd.

Below is my servlet

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    Affiliate af= new Affiliate();

    af.setFisrtName(request.getParameter("txtFname"));
    af.setLastName(request.getParameter("txtLname"));
    af.setGender(request.getParameter("txtGender"));
    af.setCategory(request.getParameter("txtCategory"));
    String dob=(request.getParameter("txtDob"));
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");  
    Date date;
    try {
        date = (Date)formatter.parse(dob);
        af.setDate(date);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    af.setAge(Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("txtAge")));
    af.setAddress(request.getParameter("txtAddr"));
    af.setCountry("India");
    af.setState(request.getParameter("txtState"));
    af.setCity(request.getParameter("txtCity"));
    af.setPinCode(Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("txtPin")));
    af.setEmailId(request.getParameter("txtEmail"));
    af.setStd(Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("txtStd")));
    af.setContactNo(Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("txtPhone")));
    af.setMobileNo(Long.parseLong(request.getParameter("txtMobile"),10));

AffiliateService afs=new AffiliateService();
**afs.createAffiliate(af);**
}

Below is my DAO:

public void insertAffiliate(Affiliate affiliate){
    String sql="INSERT INTO REGISTER " +"(id,FisrtName,LastName,Gender,Category,DateOfBirth,Age,Address,Country,State,City,PinCode,EmailId,Std,ContactNo,MobileNo)VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)";
    Connection conn = null;

    try {
        **conn = dataSource.createConnection();**
        PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
        ps.setInt(1, affiliate.getId());
        ps.setString(2, affiliate.getFisrtName());
        ps.setString(3, affiliate.getLastName());
        ps.setString(4,affiliate.getGender());
        ps.setString(5, affiliate.getCategory());
        ps.setDate(6, new java.sql.Date(affiliate.getDate().getTime()));
        ps.setInt(7, affiliate.getAge());
        ps.setString(8, affiliate.getAddress());
        ps.setString(9,affiliate.getCountry());
        ps.setString(10,affiliate.getState());
        ps.setString(11, affiliate.getCity());
        ps.setInt(12, affiliate.getPinCode());
        ps.setString(13, affiliate.getEmailId());
        ps.setInt(14,affiliate.getStd());
        ps.setInt(15, affiliate.getContactNo());
        ps.setLong(16, affiliate.getMobileNo());

        ps.executeUpdate();
        ps.close();

    } catch (SQLException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);

    } finally {
        if (conn != null) {
            try {
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {}
        }
    }
}

And below is my DTO:

public class Affiliate {

@NotNull
    @Past
    Date date;

public Date getDate() {
        return date;
    }
    public void setDate(Date date) {
        this.date = date;
    }

Answer 1

If you're storing it as a Date then its DB dependent. If you're storing it as a String, then you can format it using SimpleDateFormat in the format you want and then store it

Answer 2

Year-month-day is the standard format for dates in databases. The date column does not store the format of course, it stores the date and any formatting is applied by client software. Some database clients (Oracle) permit defining a custom date format, but not MySQL.

You can always format the date in your client application when it gets the results from the database.

SimpleDateFormat myFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date date = resultSet.getDate(column);
String dateString = myFormat.format(date);

You can also apply formatting function in the database, with the DATE_FORMAT function.

Answer 3

You can't change mysql default date format.

You can still use DATE_FORMAT in your select.
