Answer 1

Since the java.sql.Date has a constructor that takes 'long time' and java.util.Date has a method that returns 'long time', I just pass the returned 'long time' to the java.sql.Date to create the date.

java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new Date(date.getTime());
