Answer 1

You are probably passing the date as a string in your prepared statement instead of passing it as a Date type. Passing it as a date type will send correctly your date to mysql.

Example:

PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE my_table set my_date = ?");
pstmt.setDate(1, yourDateConvertedIntoDateType);
