How to Insert Current date into oracle database from a java program?

I want to insert the current date to my oracle database Bills. I am getting the date from system using

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date date = new Date();

is that possible to directly insert it into the database without converting to the default format (dd-month-yyyy) of DATE data type in Oracle?

Just in case you need CURRENT date, use: 

INSERT INTO YOUR_TABLE (YOUR_DATE_COLUMN, COLUMN_2, COLUMN_3) 
VALUES (SYSDATE, 1234, 567);

You did not give any context on what interface you are using to communicate with the DB. Assuming plain JDBC, let the driver handle the problem, use a statement object and set the parameter(s) properly:

Connection connection = ...
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO <TableNameHere> VALUES (?)");
statement.setObject(1, new java.sql.Date());
statement.executeUpdate();

(Error handling and fluff ommited) The JDBC driver will deal with the details on how to format the date as the database wants it. Don't even worry about it.

1) It is not mandatory to use the default dd/MM/yyyy format in while initializing SimpleDateFormatter. You have a list of options which can match to your requirement. SimpleDateFormat
