What you’ve got there is, as it says, a ResultSet, not an array. What’s your actual goal here? Why do you need to set this field in these records? The best solution depends very much on what is supposed to happen with the data after this.

Why would you need to update the format of the date in the actual entities? If it’s because you want the format different in some output, then the output is the place to change it, not in the controller.
