Thread: Date format problem with INSERT statement.

If I do an:


But when I do this in Java I get this error message


This is because it reads the date format as mm.dd.yy because when I insert with the value '12.04.06' it works perfect. I've changed the datestyle in my Database to European but it still doesn't work. Do the JDBC driver only insert dates in the US format?

You should consider using the jdbc escape format for dates {d
'yyyy-mm-dd'}  =>
INSERT INTO wdata (date)  VALUES ({d '2006-04-13');

see http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/escapes-datetime.html

Consider using PreparedStatement.  Then you can store your date value as
a java.sql.Date variable, and set the column value to that.
