You need to use MM as mm stands for minutes.
There are two ways of producing month pattern.
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"); //outputs month in numeric way, 2013-02-01
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy"); // Outputs months as follows, 2013-Feb-01
Full coding snippet:
String startDate="01-Feb-2013"; // Input String
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"); // New Pattern
java.util.Date date = sdf1.parse(startDate); // Returns a Date format object with the pattern
java.sql.Date sqlStartDate = new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
System.out.println(sqlStartDate); // Outputs : 2013-02-01
