Hi all,
I'm writing a Java program that uses JDBC to extract data from existing
databases, one of which is PostgreSQL. When it tries to read a timestamp
created using NOW() from the postgreSQL database, it throws an exception.
If I enter the time manually such that there are no nanoseconds it works
fine.
So if I set datebegin using NOW(), it looks something like:
2002-07-31 09:18:01.414573-07
and when I use this Java statement:
campaign.setStart( sqlResults.getTimestamp(4).getTime() );
where campaign.setStart looks like:
public void setStart(long useDate)
{
begin = new Date(useDate);
}
I get the exception:
Bad Timestamp Format at 23 in 2002-07-31 09:18:01.414573-07
However, if I set datebegin as:
2002-07-31 09:18:01-07
it works fine....
Any ideas on how to get around this??? The database used NOW() for
timestamps throughout, so nanoseconds are everywhere.
thanks in advance,
Paul
