i have string value need convert time , save in mysql.[the column's datatype time in database table] examples of string values might encounter convert time object are:

string time = "5:32 pm";

string time = "12:00 am";

string time = "11:43 pm";

i browsed few examples pulled time date object couldn't find apt example, such in case convert plain string. main reason need convert time save in mysql.

you can convert java.sql.date :

string str = "5:32 pm"; dateformat formatter = new simpledateformat("hh:mm a"); java.util.date date = (java.util.date)formatter.parse(str); java.sql.date sqldate = new java.sql.date(date.gettime()); 

if need java.sql.time , :

java.sql.time time = new java.sql.time(date.gettime()); 

and use preparedstatement#settime().
