java mysql 日期比较_Java和SQL比较日期

我正在尝试获取客户端到达日期并将其与我的SQL数据库进行比较,以查看在我的数据库中是否存在相同的日期.但是我收到以下错误：操作符>未定义参数类型

java.lang.String,java.lang.String

P.S我需要通过java比较它而不是使用sql查询

public void makeNewReservation() throws ParseException {

// Enter informations

System.out.println("Date of arrivel?");

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

String date_entree = in.next();

System.out.println("Date of exit? dd/MM/yyyy");

String date_sortiee = in.next();

calculateDaysDifference(date_sortiee, date_entree);

public void calculateDaysDifference(String date_entree, String date_sortiee) throws ParseException{

ConnectionMySQL myConnection=new ConnectionMySQL();

Connection conSQL=myConnection.startDBConnection();

boolean connectionOK=myConnection.checkConnection(conSQL);

String query = ("SELECT `START_DATE`,`END_DATE` FROM `room_booking");

//if everything is fine with the connection, i try to execute a query

if (connectionOK){

try{

ResultSet mesResultats=myConnection.executeQuery(conSQL, query);

//the while loop is just for me to check the dates

while (mesResultats.next()) {

System.out.println("START_DATE: "+mesResultats.getString(1)+" END_DATE : "+ mesResultats.getString(2));

if (date_entree > mesResultats.getString(1){

System.out.println("cant reserve room room reserved already");

}

}

// je ferme la connexion

conSQL.close();

}

catch(SQLException e){

e.printStackTrace();

}

}
