Suchita,
Welcome to JavaRanch!

Take a look at the SimpleDateFormat class. This converts your String into a Date. Then you can use stmt.setDate() and let Oracle worry about the database format.

suchita ,

You can do it in either way either convery string into Date typoe in Java Code or Do it in Oracle.

To do same in oracle,simply you can use to_date function of oracle to covert your string into date type

Syntax is to_date(String,Format)

if you want to insert a date ie 06/12/2004 in dd/mm/yyyy format,
You can do same like this

insert into table_name(Date_column) values(to_date('06/12/2004','dd/mm/yyyy'))

thanks
