hi, i had a similar problem with a oracle database. the trick was to use a timestamp object instead of a date object.
for example : Date a = new Date(); new Timestamp( a.getTime() ); hope this helps. uli Jonathan E Bricker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12.05.05 16:29 Bitte antworten an "Jakarta Commons Users List" <commons-user@jakarta.apache.org> An commons-user@jakarta.apache.org Kopie Thema [dbUtils] - QueryRunner question [Virus checked] I'm getting an SQLException with QueryRunner.update(Connection,String,Object[]) method and I wanted to see if I was doing this correctly. My values for the insert come from a ValueObject. All of the fields are Strings EXCEPT informed_consent_date which is a date and Patient_Id which is a BigDecimal. Patient_ID is null because there is a trigger that will fill that field. I take my fields in the VO and put them in an ArrayList then use toArray(Object[]) to get them into the array. When I use the method I get an InvalidColumn. I suspect that this is the Date fields not matching or getting translated correctly. Any ideas would be helpful. SQLException = Invalid column type Query: insert into ATD_PATIENT (PATIENT_ID,GENDER_CODE,BIRTH_YEAR,INFORMED_CONSENT_DATE,ENCRYPTED_EXTERNAL_ID,RACIAL_GROUP,SPECIES,COLLABORATION,USER_1_USER_ID) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
