Insert Interval data using jooq

Question

I have a PostgreSQL table with column with column name test_interval and type interval.

test_interval interval

I am using jooq to insert the data in the table. In my TestTable.java class, the field is of type:

public final TableField<TestTable, YearToSecond> TEST_INTERVAL = createField(DSL.name("test_interval"), org.jooq.impl.SQLDataType.INTERVAL.nullable(false), this, "");

I am creating the table as:

dsl.createTableIfNotExists(TestTable)
   .column(TestTable.TEST_INTERVAL)
   .execute()  

I want to insert the data into the table and the data is of form:

val str = "0 years 0 mons 0 days 0 hours 15 mins 0.00 secs"   
dsl.insertInto(
    TestTable,
    TestTable.TEST_INTERVAL
).values(
    str
)

I get error can not insert of type. How can i insert data of the interval data type of postgres using jooq?

Answer 1

Your TEST_INTERVAL column is of type YearToSecond, so you have to insert a value of that type, not of type String.

Just call the YearToSecond constructor

new YearToSecond(
  new YearToMonth(),
  new DayToSecond(0, 0, 15)
)
