In a bit to convert java date types to sql date types, it was observed that whenever the Date class of the java.sql package is invoked, it sometimes flag an error in the code or generate an error report when the code is executed.

After this observation, thesame code was wrtten in a notepad which executed successfully in the command prompt.

Below is a snippet of the source code and output in netbeans 6.7.1.

public class Trial
{
	
      	public void insertClock()
	{
		java.util.Date javaDate = new java.util.Date();
                

                java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(javaDate.getTime());
                
                System.out.println("Current utility date " +javaDate);
                System.out.println("Sql current date " +sqlDate);
        }

        public static void main(String args[])
        {
            Trial x = new Trial();
            x.insertClock();
        }
}	

output:

below is the output of thesame code when executed from command prompt:
