But now I'm getting this getDate() method as "cannot find the symbol"

try {
new JDBC().putData("UPDATE work SET
balance='"+txtValue.getText()+"', date='"+new
SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(date.getdate()) +"'
WHERE id='1'");
} catch (Exception e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, this.getClass().getName() +"

}
