Mysql SYSDATE() Function Example using java servlet
In this tutorial you will learn how can sysdate() function of mysql be used in java servlet
SYSDATE() Function of mysql gives back a date/datetime in the format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.uuuuuu depends upon in which format you want the output. Output of this function may vary from system to system.
Syntax :
sysdate();
Now, since I have to use this function in java servlet program, therefore I have created a java servlet class named MysqlSysdateServlet which extends the HttpServlet class. In the body of class I overridden the method doGet() and created an objects of HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse into its parameter. Inside the doGet() method first I set the mime type that in which format the browser will show the output. In the next line I used the getWriter() method of ServletResponse interface with the object of HttpServletResponse. HttpServletResponse interface extends this method from the ServletResponse. In continue we have to make a connection between java code and database system. So, since I am using Mysql in the example given below therefore, I am loading the driver of mysql and make a connection by using the getConnection() method of DriverManager class. It returns a Connection. Further I am passing the query " SELECT SYSDATE( ); " (This query will return the output as 2011-08-17 16:45:14.0 ) into the parameter of prepareStatement() method of Connection interface which gives an object of PreparedStatement interface. In the next line I used the executeQuery() method of PreparedStatement interface which returns a ResultSet object that holds the result of query. At last I have extracted the result from the ResultSet object.
Example :
MysqlSysdateServlet.java
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class MysqlSysdateServlet extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String className = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String url = "jdbc:mysql://192.168.10.13/data";
String user = "root";
String password ="root";
String sql = "SELECT SYSDATE() AS SYSTEM_CURRENT_DATE;";
Connection con;
PreparedStatement ps;
ResultSet rs;
try
{
Class.forName(className);
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
out.println("<table>");
out.println("<tr>");
out.println("<td><b>SYSTEM_CURRENT_DATE</b></td>");
out.println("</tr>");
while(rs.next())
{
String sysDate = rs.getString(1);
out.println("<tr>");
out.println("<td>"+sysDate+"</td>");
out.println("</tr>");
}
out.println("</table>");
}
catch(SQLException sx)
{
out.println(sx);
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException cx)
{
out.println(cx);
}
}
}

Output :
When you will execute the above example you will get the output as :
(Output can be varied system to system)
