ResultSet change date

What is 'value' when it contains a date?

If you date string is not in the expected format then you will need to use SimpleDateFormat to  parse it.

Hello,

The object that is passed back is a java.sql.Date object, but when it is displayed in the Jtable it appears as dd-mmm-yyyy, so there is some sort of conversion going on behind the scenes. If Cast to char in the java sql statement it brings it back as yyyy-mm-dd, but I recieve resultset is not editable error.

Have you written a custom TableModel?

Please find attached the two classes I am using its the editableResults class that is giving me the date trouble

public class EditableResultSet extends DBResultSet

    }

      rs.updateRow(  );

    }
    catch (SQLException s)
    {
      s.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

}

As what type is your date column stored in the RS?

java.sql.Date

In setValueAt, i see no attempt to locate the row that's to be updated in the RS ...

I did not need to for the this part it knew the row already as confirmed by checking the db just can't make the java.sql.Date field editable.

if((tempCol == 4) || (tempCol == 5))
    {
      rs.updateString (tempCol, String.valueOf (value)) ;
     
    }
    else if (tempCol == 6)

Sorry forgot to close
