setNull(1, java.sql.Types.DATE)

[Kee Kee moon]

If I use setNull(1, java.sql.Types.DATE); function, it will insert null on my table's column.
I want to select the date from another table and insert into my table's column, what should I do?
I am sure I cannot call setNull(1,java.sql.Types.DATE), it will insert NULL in my column.

Thanks in advance.

You can use setDate() or setTimestamp().

Would you please give me some examples how to use setDate or setTimestamp(). I have been working on setDate() but failed.
I got errors.
Thanks.

Sorry for the double post on the Java General forum.

You don't describe how you failed. It would definitely help if you provided some explanation.

However I will take a guess: you don't understand that the setDate() method requires a java.sql.Date object and not a java.util.Date object, and you don't know how to get one of those. You said you were getting a date from some other table? Then the getDate() method returns you a java.sql.Date object which you can use.
