jsp insert time in database - database

Question

PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO discussion(section_id, weekday, room, mandatory, starttime,endtime)
VALUES ( ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
pstmt.setInt(1, Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("SECTION_ID")));
pstmt.setString(2, request.getParameter("WEEKDAY"));
pstmt.setString(3, request.getParameter("ROOM"));
pstmt.setString(4, request.getParameter("MANDATORY"));
pstmt.setString(5, request.getParameter("starttime"));
pstmt.setString(6, request.getParameter("endtime"));
right now I set the starttime and endtime in database as time without timezone type
if I use setTime to get the endtime and startime. how to modify this code
I didn't use any class here. I don't think I can use method here
the data is from user input

Answer 1

Suppose your dateString intered by user is in format dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss
Then you can use setDate like this
private static final String TIME_FORMAT = "HH:mm:ss";
public static final SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(TIME_FORMAT, Locale.getDefault());
pstmt.setTime(5,new Time(timeFormat.parse(request.getParameter("starttime")).getTime()));
Hope this will help

Answer 2

1.you should this method:
PreparedStatement pstmt;
pstmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO table_name (starttime,endtime)VALUES(?,?)");
pstmt.setTimestamp(1, new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime));
pstmt.setTimestamp(2, new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime));
pstmt.executeUpdate();
sample:
PreparedStatement pstmt;
pstmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO table_name (col_name)VALUES(?)");
pstmt.setTimestamp(1, new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime));
pstmt.executeUpdate();
2.Another one interesting answer:
You can use SimpleDateFormat to parse a String in the given pattern to a java.util.Date object.
Assuming that it's HH:mm, then you can do so:
String time = request.getParameter("time");
Date date = null;
try
{
date = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").parse(time);
}
catch (ParseException e)
{
request.setAttribute("time_error", "Please enter time in format HH:mm");
}
Once having the java.util.Date object, you can store it in a TIME column by converting it to java.sql.Time and using PreparedStatement#setTime().
PreparedStatement pt;
pt = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO tablename (columname) VALUES (?)");
pt.setTime(1, new Time(date.getTime()));
pt.executeUpdate();
