Date Format Issue With The OJDBC Jar Files From 12.2.1.4 “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss” Instead of “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S” (Doc ID 2715606.1)

Goal

In 12.2.1.3, the date field returns in the format “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S” but after the update to 12.2.1.4 the date field returns in the format “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss” (without the extra “.S” at the end). This causes the date formatting code to throw an exception because the format doesn’t match what is expected. 

The code does a simple read of a date field using SQL. Then the date field is read as a String and parsed into a Date field. The code looks like:

Once the query finishes the code uses “rs.getString(1)” to return the EMP_TERMINATION_DATE field into a String variable in the format described above.
