Java Dateformat Error

I am using JDatechooser netbeans swing plugin for my desktop app development. By default its dateformat is mm/dd/yy but its not the format which the db required. I need to convert it to the yyyy-mm-dd format. I tried with SimpleDateformat class and it gives me the following error: com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Incorrect date value: '8/29/11' for column 'registered_date' at row 1

can anyone give me a good solution to do this properly

Thanks

Solution

  • Try this:

    Date date = ...
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String date_for_mysql = df.format(date);
