Mysql TIME_TO_SEC() Function Example using java servlet

In this tutorial you will learn how can time_to_sec() function of mysql be used in java servlet.

TIME_TO_SEC() function of mysql calculates the time value into seconds and returns the value in seconds.

Syntax :

time_to_sec('time');

Here the time is a time value

Now, since I have to use this function in java servlet program, therefore I have created a java servlet class named MysqlTimeToSecServlet 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 TIME_TO_SEC('10:52:50'); " (This query will return the output as 39170 ) 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 :

MysqlTimeToSecServlet.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 MysqlTimeToSecServlet 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 TIME_TO_SEC('10:52:50')AS TIME_IN_SEC;";
   
   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>TIME_IN_SEC</b></td>");
	out.println("</tr>");
	
	while(rs.next())
	{
	 String timeTosec = rs.getString(1);
	 out.println("<tr>");
	 out.println("<td>"+timeTosec+"</td>");
	 out.println("</tr>");
	}
	out.println("</table>");
   }
   catch(SQLException sx)
   {
	 out.println(sx);
   }
   catch(ClassNotFoundException cx)
   {
	 out.println(cx);
   }
  }
}
