Parsing String into mysql Date [duplicate]

Answer 1

MySQL’s default DATE field format is: YYYY-MM-DD

Whereas in Java, the Date class’ (available in java.util package) default format is,dow mon dd hh:mm:ss zzz yyyy

so use this:

    Date date = txtToday.getText();
    String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd";
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
    String mysqlDateString = formatter.format(date);
    System.out.println("Java's Default Date Format: " + date);
    System.out.println("Mysql's Default Date Format: " + mysqlDateString);
