Spring JDBCTemplate date format error on oracle query

I want to write a query which returns list of result data in between two dates(including them).This is what I tested and the query returns with an error ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string.
DateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date from=df.parse("2015-05-27 12:12:12");
Date toDate=df.parse("2015-05-28 12:12:12");
//this returns ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
sfaTemplate.query("select * from my_requests where received_from=? and to_date(request_at)>=to_date(?) and to_date(request_at)<=to_date(?) ", new BeanPropertyRowMapper<SFAReload>(SFAReload.class), 12, from, toDate);
//but this works just change to_date(request_at)<=to_date(?) into to_date(request_at)>=to_date(?)
sfaTemplate.query("select * from my_requests where received_from=? and to_date(request_at)>=to_date(?) and to_date(request_at)>=to_date(?) ", new BeanPropertyRowMapper<SFAReload>(SFAReload.class), 12, from, toDate);
changing the to_date(request_at) <= to_date(?) into to_date(request_at) >= to_date(?) makes query run.Can some one give me the reason?

you are using to_date(?) in your query but you are passing two date objects as parameters. to_date in oracle expects a string (and an optional format), so you must choose between
passing a Date object in jdbc template (as you are doing now) changing the query avoiding the to_date conversion and using for example to_date(request_at)<=to_date(?)
passing a String object (i.e. "2015-05-28 12:12:12")in jdbc template representing a date and using a to_date(?,'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') in the query.

Sqlite : Comparing timestamp value stored in a column to current Date

I store information in a sqlite database table as follows:
ActionDate column is of type : DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
private String getDateTime() {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.getDefault());
Date date = new Date();
return dateFormat.format(date);
}
I want to write an SQL query that returns all rows in my table having ActionDate value as today's date from sqlite DB. However as ActionDate is of type timestamp what is the most appropriate way to convert it to todays date.

If you want current date then use the following query :
SELECT date('now');
To get all columns in your table having ActionDate equal to todays date use the below query :
select * from table where strftime('%Y-%m-%d ', datetime(ActionDate, 'unixepoch')) = date('now)' ;

how to insert data type date(yyyy-MM-dd) in sqlite database and retrive data between two dates in android

I have a Sqlite3 database table contains name,address,date of birth details.i want to display 1990-01-01 to 1995-01-01 details.
but Sqlite3 database stores only following data types.
TEXT
NUMERIC
INTEGER
REAL
NONE
Any one have some hint to store and retrieve date format data..?

From my own experience on doing several projects with database in Android my answer is:
Do not store the date as a string. Never! Ever! Store them as Unix timestamps and format them as needed during runtime.
the important thing here is to separate what is your data and what is the on-screen representation of your data. Storing in a database the on-screen representation of your data is wrong.
You'll always store your dates as INTEGER types.
So for example to store the date now you'll store the value System.currentTimeInMilis
To select between 1990-01-01 and 1995-01-01 you will:
long val1 = new GregorianCalendar(1990, 01, 01).getTimeInMillis();
long val2 = new GregorianCalendar(1995, 01, 01).getTimeInMillis();
and then you'll do the normal SELECT statement between those 2 values.
to show those values in the screen as yyyy-MM-dd you'll use the SimpleDateFormat class:
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
long longDate = cursor.getLong(colNumber); // from the database
String stringDate = dateFormat.format(new Date(longDate));

Use this code to convert your date into millisecond format and store it into your database as INTEGER types
String someDate = "1995-01-01";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = sdf.parse(someDate);
System.out.println(date.getTime());
date.getTime()-give the millisecond format
At the same way to convert your input (i.e from 1990-01-01 and to date 1995-01-01)
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date1 = sdf.parse(1990-01-01);
value1=date.getTime();
Date date2 = sdf.parse(1995-01-01);
value2=date.getTime();
Retrieve from database using following query
db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name BETWEEN "+value1+" AND "+value2+"",null);
or
db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name<="+value1+" AND column_name>="+value2+"",null);

You can do something like this
DateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date1=df.parse("1990-01-01");
Date date2=df.parse("1995-01-01");
Date myDate=df.parse("1992-01-01"); // checking date
if((date1.getTime()<myDate.getTime())&&(myDate.getTime()<date2.getTime())){
System.out.println(df.format(myDate)+" is in this range");
}else{
System.out.println(df.format(myDate)+" is not in this range");
}

Since the format you want to use (yyyy-MM-dd) is ordered in the same way as a String (i.e. for any dates x and y you would choose, if x < y as a Date, then x < y as a String), you can simply store the dates as Strings (TEXT) in your database.
When selecting the values between them, you would just have to use a WHERE clause in your SELECT statement like this:
SELECT * FROM yourTable WHERE yourDateFieldName > ? and yourDateFieldName < ?
You can then use DateFormat.format to set the values for the ? parameters of your prepared statement. The first parameter would be the "start" date, and the second would be the "end" date. You can replace < with <= and > with >= if you want the items on start and end dates included.
This gives you a String representation of a Date. To convert from that to an actual Date object you can use date formatter's parse method (i.e. SimpleDateFormat.parse).
Another, "cleaner", approach would be to use the SQLite date and time functions (see here). While SQLite doesn't have a DATE type for storing date values, it has helper functions that you can use to interpret TEXT and NUMBER values as date in your statements.
If you don't need extra processing for your date values, I'd recommend going for the first solution as it should be faster because it merely compares TEXTs rather than parsing and extracting a date from them, then comparing the extracted date (I haven't compared the speed of the two approaches, so don't take my word for it on this one). This approach also has less code to write and maintain and the code is easier to read.
Sources:
SQLite data type - for the validity of comparing two TEXT values
SimpleDateFormat - Android documentation

You can use dates in yyyy-MM-dd format directly, JDBC will understand it. Assuming we a have a table t1 with c1 of DATE type
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("insert into t1 (c1) values (?)");
ps.setString(1, "2001-01-01");
ps.executeUpdate();
Reading dates is simple too
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select c1 from t1");
rs.next();
Date date = rs.getDate(1);
ResultSet.getDate returns result as java.sql.Date whose toString method returns date in yyyy-MM-dd format

Date - Java to Sql table and sql table to Java through Joda Time

I am looking for a way to get today's date and pass to sql table and save there. Call the saved date and do some task with JODA TIME API. The changed Joda time Date to sql table and save there and process continues..
I tried this way,
//prints todays date
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(new Date().getTime());
//passes wrong date to the table like 1970-07-01 instead of 2013-03-01
String insert = "INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE VALUES(1,"+sqlDate+")";
pStmt = conn.prepareStatement(insert);
pStmt.executeUpdate();
//converting to joda time
LocalDate ld = new LocalDate(sqlDate);
//some calculations, and how to convert back to sql date?
What I am trying to do here is, A table with 3 columns (id, startdate, finishdate). id will be entered by user, start date should be automatically entered todays date. after some calculations with joda time and finish date will be set to date it is finished.
Code
String insert = "INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE VALUES(2,'"+timestamp+"')";
Error
Data type mismatch in criteria expression
//I have created table using MS access
//the format of the date column is Date/Time.

You Can use Timestamp here. java.sql.Timestamp extends java.util.Date, so anything you can do with a java.util.Date you can also do with a java.sql.Timestamp.
To convert LocalDateTime to Timestamp
Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp(localDateTime.toDateTime().getMillis());
But if You still want to convert Timestamp into java.sql.Date then use this
java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date(timeStamp.getTime());

How to find last / 7 /30 days records of sqlite db when datetime is stored as text?

I have an activity where i save some info to my database.
I have two textviews one for date (yyyy-MM-dd) and one for time (HH:mm).
if i save datetime as a TEXT, i can sort then desc properly,but CAN i find with sqlite query last/7/30 days records?An example of this query when are the datetime TEXT?

First you should calculate the date range you want to analize, then convert its boundaries into the text format (you can use some date formatting ustilities). Then you should query the Db with converted dates as parameters.
Suppose you want last 30 days list:
Calendar theEnd = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar theStart = (Calendar) theEnd.clone();
theStart.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -30);
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
String start = dateFormat.format(theStart.getTime());
String end = dateFormat.format(theEnd.getTime());
// Now you have date boundaries in TEXT format
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM table WHERE timestamp BETWEEN "+start+" AND "+end);
