set date TO_DATE() in preparedstatement

Hi,

PG_DATE is date field in master table in oracle database and is recieved by setxxx and getxxx method in bean.

I want to set it with preparedstatement like -

pstmt.setString(4,TO_DATE(PG_DATE,"DD-MM-YYYY"));

it gives error -

symbol : method TO_DATE(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)

location: class dbbean.addcontentbean

pstmt.setString(4,TO_DATE(PG_DATE,"DD-MM-YYYY"));

how can i pass it with preparedstatement.
