Hi Tom,

I use a "Select * from table" and no to_char() functions. I will post
the same question to the jboss-mailing list and see if anyone there
has had the same problem. It could also be a feature of the JBoss
resultset implementation.

Regards,
Nagarajan.

Subject: Re: [JDBC] Bad Timestamp Format


Hi Nagarajan,

I'm not familiar with jboss, but I just tried messing with an old
7.1.2 database that I had lying around and can't get it to return
a short format of a timestamp like "1970-1-1 0:0". The driver
code in 7.1.3 will cause an exception for this short form as you
are getting and the 7.2 driver will just parse the datepart but
not the hour/minute part.

Before changing the new driver code to handle this format, I'd
like to know how you are generating it, so that a) I know it makes
sense to support it and b) that I can test it. Can anyone on the
list let me know how to get the backend to return this short format?

The only way I can think about doing it is using the to_char()
functions which you would have to be explicitly doing??? ie, something
like:

select now(), to_char(now(), 'YYYY-FMMM-FMDD FMHH24:FMMI');
          now           |     to_char
------------------------+-----------------
 2002-01-28 10:26:09+09 | 2002-1-28 10:26
(1 row)

If your select code or jboss is somehow using to_char() to alter the
default timestamp string, its doing something unusual which the driver
doesn't support.

Can anyone add anymore reasons why the backend would be returning
a short timestamp string to the driver, such as specific datestyle
options, a specific locale or other?

Tom.
