oracle插入date

我们经常需要在oracle中用到date类型的字段，怎样获取当前时间并将其插入到数据库中呢，

java.util.Date a = new java.util.Date();
		java.sql.Timestamp d = new java.sql.Timestamp(a.getTime());
		String sql = "insert into ORDE(OID,BID,UIDD,ONUMBER,ODATE,OTYPE) values(?,?,?,?,?,?)";
		PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
		pstmt.setInt(1, order.getOId());
		pstmt.setInt(2, order.getBId());
		pstmt.setInt(3, order.getUIdd());
		pstmt.setInt(4, order.getONumber());
		pstmt.setTimestamp(5, d);
		pstmt.setInt(6, order.getOType());
		return pstmt.executeUpdate();
