Hi,
I need to insert the current date time in Ms SQL Server Database using jsp page. The format of the code willbe

insert into table(update_date) values ('2007-01-01 10:02:21');

But i am not getting how to display the current date and time ie. 2007-01-01 10:02:21 using jsp.

I have tried using

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
String dd = sdf.format(cal.getTime());

insert into table(update_date) values (dd);

But it didnot get inserted data.

Can anybody figure out with simple ideas.

Thank You
