Обсуждение: bug report: preparedStatement.setObject(indx,"2004-August-15",java.sql.Types.DATE) generates number format exception

bug report:

postgresql: 8.2.0
jdbc: postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc3.jar

the following generates a number format exception:
  preparedStatement.setObject(indx,"2004-August-15",java.sql.Types.DATE)

the following works:
  preparedStatement.setObject(indx,"2004-08-15",java.sql.Types.DATE)

i prefer to use the former.

I'm not sure that's actually a bug as there are many, many possible date
formats and the JDBC spec doesn't specify what conversions must be
supplied.  Do you use this same code on other databases?

Using a SimpleDateFormat object to convert from String to Date yourself is
the most portable and guaranteed correct method.
