The function ‘DATE’ will show the present date of system.
i make a table in database named ‘dbase’ with required fields and within the reference of mySql(php myAdmin). Then i import all the required java packages from java library. Then i made class which extends ‘HttpServlet’ named ‘MySqlDateFunction’.i use here serviceMethod() that will use to getting the request from the doGet()method. Before declaring desired variables i loaded all the required drivers for database accessing. Then after i declare variable like ‘connection’ that will make a link between the database and the actual code. Here i declare ‘resultSet’ Also which is been responsible for the fetching value from the columns and rows. I declare ‘preparedStatement’ that will use to executing selected query like executeQuery() as (SELECT now(), date(now())).i use doGet()Method that will get Output on the web browser.
While getting the output on the web browser i use ‘HTML’ code and tags.
