How to convert from java.sql.Timestamp to java.util.Date?

Question

i.e. this code

startDate = new Date(timestampValue.getTime));

gives me :

2012-16-02 05:16:17

Answer 1

java.sql.ResultSet rs;
//fill rs somehow
java.sql.Timestamp timestamp = rs.getTimestamp(1); //get first column
long milliseconds = timestamp.getTime() + (timestamp.getNanos() / 1000000);
java.util.Date date = return new java.util.Date(milliseconds);

Answer 2

The fancy new Java 8 way is Date.from(timestamp.toInstant()). See my similar answer elsewhere.
