在数据库中存储当前日期

Question

I am having a column in my table of type TIMESTAMP . In my servlet am writing the code to insert current date and time in this column like this :

 DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
 Date date = new Date();
 String sendDate = dateFormat.format(date);
 ps.setString(4,sendDate);

But it throws an Exception that:

 java.sql.SQLException: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01843: not a valid month

What can be the reason?

Please help.

Answer 1

Why do you use ps.setString ? You should use ps.setDate .

EDIT

Date dateNow = new java.sql.Date(System.CurrentTimeMillis())
ps.setDate(dateNow);

Better to use timestamp tough:

ps.setTimestamp(1, new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
