A Date object doesn't have a changeable format. If you want to print the date object in a particular format, you will have to format it and print the resultant string -- formatting the date to a string, and parsing it back to a date, doesn't really do anything.

A Date doesn't have a format, it's a number representing milliseconds.

Do you want to display it in the format "dd/MMM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"?

What do you get if you output System.out.println(s) after line 6?

Doug,
after 6th line am getting the same format i needed but its in string only "19/Apr/2010 17:46:57".
While am inserting that string into database Oracle its giving an exception as "date format picture ends before converting entire input string".


Regards,
Kartik

Are you specifying a format when you insert into Oracle? Does that format on the Oracle insert match the String? It sounds like it might be missing a bit..

I think that what's happening there is that the format of your date string is not the format that Oracle is expecting.

if you try something like this:

insert into student values('1',TO_DATE('19/Apr/2010 17:24:59','DD/MON/YYYY HH24:MI:SS''))

then you are telling Oracle exactly what format date string is in and it should work.

Does that help?

Switch to PreparedStatement:
This problem is evidently an Oracle problem so I'm moving this to our JDBC forum.
