Insert Date in SQL with JdbcTemplate

Question

What is the best way to insert a date in MySQL using JdbcTemplate ?

I've seen different approaches, but none of them uses JdbcTemplate (They are using DriverManager.getConnection() ) and I want to use it only.

Currently, I'm using just Date class from java.sql.Date and although it does not throw an error, it inserts something weird instead.

Answer 1

use java.util.Date, it will work fine.

JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate = new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
String sql="insert into order(id, name, createDate) values(?,?,?)"; 
int rows=jdbcTemplate.update(query, new Object[]{id, name, new java.util.Date()});
log.info("rows updated {}", rows);
