Why can't H2 database parse a timestamp?

My project is using Oracle database, and everything works just fine. For the purpose of testing I set up an H2 db. The following query now throws an error:
"SELECT * FROM ERESIS.ECH_HISFAB f WHERE f.FG_ETAT = 'A' AND TO_DATE(DT_INS) > '30-AUG-18' ORDER BY f.CD_MAT"
error:
Cannot parse "TIMESTAMP" constant "30-AUG-18"; SQL statement:
I can fix the error by setting up the string like TO_DATE('30-AUG-2018'), but changing the query kind of defeats the purpose since I already am sure the query works (but I need it to test the service). Is there any way to bypass this error without changing the query?

parsedatetime() should be able to convert string to TIMESTAMP, please try using -
"SELECT * FROM ERESIS.ECH_HISFAB f WHERE f.FG_ETAT = 'A' AND TO_DATE(DT_INS) > parsedatetime('30-AUG-2018', 'dd-MMM-yyyy') ORDER BY f.CD_MAT"

I had a similar issue with H2 (1.4.200), it has just one format for TO_DATE(input) method "DD MON YYYY".
After a debug I found that H2 uses an enum for date format when it's not provided as second parameter: org.h2.expression.function.ToDateParser.ConfigParam
TO_DATE("DD MON YYYY")
I did a solution to override it using reflection so that the sql code does not change.
In my unit test I created a utility method used to instantiate the workaround on #BeforeClass
private static boolean h2WorkaroundApplied = false; //utility to apply workaround just one time
protected static synchronized void applyH2ToOracleCompatibilityWorkaround() {
if (!h2WorkaroundApplied) {
fixH2ToDateFormat(); //apply to_date workaround
h2WorkaroundApplied = true; //disable future changes of same workaround
}
}
private static void fixH2ToDateFormat() {
try {
Class<?> classConfigParam = Arrays.stream(ToDateParser.class.getDeclaredClasses())
.filter(c -> "ConfigParam".equals(c.getSimpleName()))
.findFirst()
.orElseThrow(); //get the enum inner class
Object toDateEnumConstant = Arrays.stream(classConfigParam.getEnumConstants())
.filter(e -> "TO_DATE".equals(((Enum) e).name()))
.findFirst()
.orElseThrow(); //get the enum constant TO_DATE
Field defaultFormatStr = classConfigParam.getDeclaredField("defaultFormatStr"); //get the enum private field defaultFormatStr
defaultFormatStr.setAccessible(true);
defaultFormatStr.set(toDateEnumConstant, "YYYY-MM-DD"); //change with my date format used by production oracle DB.
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException(
"The current H2 version doesn't support this workaround. Tested with version 1.4.200", e);
}
}

Extent Report overwriting category and only shows from last test

I'm trying to create an Extent Report with several categories, this in combination with testng. But everytime I run several classes it will overwrite the last category and in the end I will only have the last category. Is there any way I can prevent this?
followin method is run in the #BeforeMethod and here I will init my test
private void setupReportBeforeTest(Method method){
Test test = method.getAnnotation(Test.class);
String author = "ABC";
String description = "Test";
try{
description = test.description().split(",author:")[0];
if (test.description().contains(",bug:")){
author = test.description().split(",author:")[1].split(",bug:")[0];
this.setJiraBug(test.description().split(",author:")[1].split(",bug:")[1]);
}else {
author = test.description().split(",author:")[1];
this.setJiraBug(null);
}
}catch (Exception e){ }
logging = extentReports.createTest(this.getTestName() + "-" + method.getName(),description)
.assignCategory(test.groups())
.assignAuthor(author).pass("Test");
}
I'm getting the groups information from the following:
#Test(groups = "Testgroup1",description = "Test1,author:Steve")

you may assign these Categories not in this setupReportBeforeTest() but in another function when tests are finished and you will have collected every groups in a table.
public void assign ( String[] testCategory)
reportTest.assignCategory(testCategory);

Date insertion in Google sheet appending ' in cell

To write the data into the Google spreadsheet I am using following code.
private static void writeValuesInSpreedSheet(Sheets service, String spreadsheetId, int sheetSize) throws IOException {
String range = "A"+(sheetSize+1)+":K"+(sheetSize+1);
List<List<Object>> newData = new ArrayList<>();
List<Object> rowValues = new ArrayList();
rowValues.add(getCurentDateInESTFormat());
rowValues.add("2");
rowValues.add("3");
rowValues.add("4");
rowValues.add("5");
rowValues.add("6");
rowValues.add("7");
rowValues.add("8");
rowValues.add("9");
rowValues.add("10");
rowValues.add("11");
/* List<Object> rowValues1 = new ArrayList();
rowValues1.add("1");
rowValues1.add("2");*/
newData.add(rowValues);
//newData.add(rowValues1);
// response.setValues(newData);
ValueRange oRange = new ValueRange();
oRange.setRange(range); // I NEED THE NUMBER OF THE LAST ROW
oRange.setValues(newData);
List<ValueRange> oList = new ArrayList<>();
oList.add(oRange);
BatchUpdateValuesRequest oRequest = new BatchUpdateValuesRequest();
oRequest.setValueInputOption("RAW");
oRequest.setData(oList);
BatchUpdateValuesResponse oResp1 = service.spreadsheets().values().batchUpdate(spreadsheetId, oRequest).execute();
System.out.println("Response Values " +oResp1.values());
}
private static Object getCurentDateInESTFormat() {
SimpleDateFormat sdfAmerica = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/YYYY");
sdfAmerica.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York"));
String sDateInAmerica = sdfAmerica.format(new Date());
return sDateInAmerica;
}
In sheet we have defined the date and currency type of respective column.
I am able to write the data but eventually its prepending ' in the data for example - '09/04/2016
Because of this we are not able to open it into date format. I have attached one screen shot as well.
We are using Google Sheets API V4.
I am asking this question because i did not find any link/solution related to it.

When using the ValueInputOption RAW you need to pass dates in the serial number format. The Apache POI library provides a getExcelDate method that will handle most of this for you, but you'll need to add a day to account for the difference in the epoch used.

Update JIRA Customfield value using java

I'm simply trying to update a customfield value in jira using java. I had created a method updateCustomField which accepts 3 parameters (customFieldCode, value, jiraId). Had tried using transition but all it did is change the jira status from "Open" to "Resolved 2". I googled everywhere but they suggest to use JSON which I have no idea how to apply.
here's my update method:
public void updateCustomField(String customFieldCode, String value, String jiraId) throws Exception {
final IssueRestClient issueRestClient = jiraClient.getIssueClient();
final Issue issue = issueRestClient.getIssue(jiraId).get();
FieldInput fieldInput = new FieldInput(customFieldCode, value);
List <FieldInput> fields = new ArrayList <FieldInput> ();
fields.add(fieldInput);
TransitionInput transision = new TransitionInput(1, fields);
issueRestClient.transition(issue, transision);
}

For those who want to simply update jira using java, you can try this jira-client library.

Where clause with a DATE variable using ActiveAndroid

I'm new at Android dev, so I'm using ActiveAndroid to manage the DB and I'm having troubles using a query with a Date variable, I have this:
From fromQuery = new Select().from(Shift.class);
//It doesn't matter what currentShiftDates do.
CurrentShiftDates currentShiftDates = new CurrentShiftDates();
fromQuery = fromQuery.where("startDate > ? and startDate < ?",currentShiftDates.startDate,
currentShiftDates.endDate);
return fromQuery.execute();
I had read that the query needs to pass the parameter as a long value, so I've tried with .getTime():
fromQuery = fromQuery.where("startDate > ? and startDate < ?",currentShiftDates.startDate.getTime(), currentShiftDates.endDate.getTime());
But it still don't work.
What I'm doing wrong?

I' m very sorry, it wasn't working because i was writing "startDate" and the column name is "StartDate", so the correct query was:
fromQuery = fromQuery.where("StartDate > ? and StartDate < ?",currentShiftDates.startDate.getTime(), currentShiftDates.endDate.getTime());
