Converting java date to Sql timestamp
I am trying to insert java.util.Date after converting it to java.sql.Timestamp and I am using the following snippet: java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date(); java.sql.Timestamp sq = new java.sql.Timestamp(utilDate.getTime()); But this is giving me sq as 2014-04-04 13:30:17.533 Is there any way to get the output without milliseconds? You can cut off the milliseconds using a Calendar : java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date(); Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(utilDate); cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0); System.out.println(new java.sql.Timestamp(utilDate.getTime()))
