如何使用java在mysql的datetime字段中插入当前日期

Question

I am working on date time using Java. I am trying to insert the current date in MySQL. The data type for the table in database is datetime. When I am trying to insert the data, an exception is thrown

The conversion of a nvarchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

I want to insert current date in in that field.

Answer 1

It is recommended that you insert the current date using SQL rather than Java. To do so, use the MySQL CURDATE() function. Your query will look like this:

INSERT INTO orders (order_date, order_description)
     VALUES (CURDATE(), 'Jarlsberg Cheese');

Note that CURDATE() gives you the date only. If you want the time you need to use NOW() , or CURTIME() :

• NOW() : Gives you the date and time, eg 2014-11-11 12:45:34.
• CURDATE() : Gives you the date only, eg 2014-11-11.
• CURTIME() : Gives you the time only, eg 12:45:34.

Answer 2

You can use NOW() function of mysql. NOW() returns the current date and time.

Hope it will help you. Happy coding.
