Hi Eric,

   Could be many things...
   You don't say what version of java you are developing in...    You don't say what driver you are using...     The driver could have a bug...

   Like I said, could be any number of things...    So, instead of grabbing it as a timestamp,    try the following:

   SimpleDateFormat formatterDB = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd kk:mm:ss");

   SimpletDateFormat myTimeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy kk:mm:ss");

   String myDateTime;

   try {

       myDateTime = resultSet.getDate("yourDateColumn").toString();
       if (myDateTime != null && !myDateTime.equals("")) {
            Date transDate = formatterDB.parse(myDateTime);
            System.out.println("The returned date/time is " +
myTimeStamp.format(transDate));
      }
     else {
            System.out.println("The date returned was either null or

blank.");

    }
  catch (Exception e) {

        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();

 }

regards,
Cindy
