Default JDBC date format when reading date as a string from ResultSet

Question

I\'m looking at some code that basically does the following:

ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
String myDateStr = rs.getString(\"MY_DATE\"); //field is of ty         


        

Answer 1

try this:

ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();

Date myDate = rs.getDate("MY_DATE"); 

or this :

ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
String myDateStr = rs.getString("MY_DATE"); 
Date myDate = valueOf(myDateStr);
