Converting java.sql.Date to java.util.Date

Question

What\'s the simplest way to convert a java.sql.Date object to a java.util.Date while retaining the timestamp?

I tried:

java.util.Date newDate = new D         


        

Answer 1

If you really want the runtime type to be util.Date then just do this:

java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date(sqlDate.getTime());

Answer 2

The class java.sql.Date is designed to carry only a date without time, so the conversion result you see is correct for this type. You need to use a java.sql.Timestamp to get a full date with time.

java.util.Date newDate = result.getTimestamp("VALUEDATE");

Answer 3

In the recent implementation, java.sql.Data is an subclass of java.util.Date, so no converting needed. see here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html

Answer 4

Since java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date, you should be able to do

java.util.Date newDate = result.getDate("VALUEDATE");

Answer 5

This function will return a converted java date from SQL date object.

public static java.util.Date convertFromSQLDateToJAVADate(
            java.sql.Date sqlDate) {
        java.util.Date javaDate = null;
        if (sqlDate != null) {
            javaDate = new Date(sqlDate.getTime());
        }
        return javaDate;
    }

Answer 6

From reading the source code, if a java.sql.Date does actually have time information, calling getTime() will return a value that includes the time information.

If that is not working, then the information is not in the java.sql.Date object. I expect that the JDBC drivers or the database is (in effect) zeroing the time component ... or the information wasn't there in the first place.

I think you should be using java.sql.Timestamp and the corresponding resultset methods, and the corresponding SQL type.
