Rich

Attached is an example piece of code that does a simple timestamp insert
using a prepared statement. Note that there is no method setDate (int,
java.util.Date), only setDate (int, java.sql.Date).

java.sql.Date only stores the Date part - it deletes the time value. So you
must use setTimestamp (int, java.sql.Timestamp) to retain the time part. The
"set date format" tells IDB how to output the value as a String.

Hope this helps.
