Unable to insert DateTime format into database
- by melvg
I'm unable to insert the DateTime into my database. Am i writing the statement wrongly?
Apparently without the DateTime, I am able to insert into the database
string dateAndTime = date + " " + time;
CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
DateTime theDateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(dateAndTime, "d MMMM yyyy hh:mm tt", provider);
//Create a connection, replace the data source name with the name of the SQL Anywhere Demo Database that you installed
SAConnection myConnection = new SAConnection("UserID=dba;Password=sql;DatabaseName=emaDB;ServerName=emaDB");
//open the connection
; myConnection.Open();
//Create a command object.
SACommand insertAccount = myConnection.CreateCommand();
//Specify a query.
insertAccount.CommandText = ("INSERT INTO [meetingMinutes] (title,location,perioddate,periodtime,attenders,agenda,accountID,facilitator,datetime) VALUES ('"+title+"','" + location + "', '" + date + "','" + time + "', '" + attender + "','" + agenda + "', '" + accountID + "','" + facilitator + "','" +theDateTime+ "')");
try
{
insertAccount.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (title == "" || agenda == "")
{
btnSubmit.Attributes.Add("onclick", "displayIfSuccessfulInsert();");
//ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(), "error", "alert('Please ensure to have a title or agenda!');", true);
}
else
{
btnSubmit.Attributes.Add("onclick", "displayIfSuccessfulInsert();");
Response.Redirect("HomePage.aspx");
//ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "Redit", "alert('Minutes Created!'); window.location='" + Request.ApplicationPath + "/HomePage.aspx';", true);
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
Console.WriteLine(exception);
}
finally
{
myConnection.Close();
}
It does not insert the SQL into my database.
