java.util.Date to java.sql.Date

I have to insert a date in the database(oracle 8).I am using following peice of code:
if(info.getLastUpdatedTime() == null )
{
System.out.println("if:UPDTime in ejbcreate oucbean....");
pstmt.setDate(7,date);//date is defined as java.sql.Date
}
else
{
System.out.println("else:UPDTime in ejbcreate oucbean....");
pstmt.setDate(7,info.getLastUpdatedTime());
}
The method getLastUpdatedTime() is defined to return a a java.util.Date.But I have to convert it to java.sql.Date before I issue an insert sql statement.
Can anybody give me a peice of code that converts java.util.Date to java.sql.Date.
(weblogic 5.1.0
oracle 8)

You can construct a new java.sql.Date object from the getTime() method of java.util.Date.

For your example

Hope this helps

Thanks for the input Carl.Its working fine now and I can insert records in the database.

sir

i have a table in SQL-SERVER named as title
this table has three fields
1.id
2.tdate----this is of the type datetime
3.content
i am using JRUN 3.0
i want to make a java servlet in which u have a text link
Date todaysdate = new Date();
todays content;
In the servlet :
i am accepting this parameter as
String a = request.getParameter("todaysdate");

i will the database connecion---------------------
then
'
select * from title where tdate = 'a';

-----------but this not showing any result
error;
there is something wrong here in he compatitbility of 'a' with tdate

if using JDBC-ODBC instead of pure JDBC it seems you must explicitly format the date

java.sql.Date sqldate (String dmy ) // dd/MM/yyyy to java.sql.Date
{
SimpleDateFormat dF = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
java.util.Date d;
try {
d = dF.parse(dmy);
dF.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd");
dmy = dF.format(d);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return java.sql.Date.valueOf(dmy);
} //sqldate_______________________________________________________________

If I remember correctly, the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver (in J2SE 1.4.2) supports the SQL escape syntax
Good Luck,
