java.sql.Date

public class java.sql

Date

Java SE 6

Extends: Date

A thin wrapper around a millisecond value that allows JDBC to identify this as an SQL DATE value. A milliseconds value represents the number of milliseconds that have passed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00.000 GMT.

To conform with the definition of SQL DATE, the millisecond values wrapped by a java.sql.Date instance must be 'normalized' by setting the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds to zero in the particular time zone with which the instance is associated.

Constructors

public

Date(int year, int month, int day) Details

Constructs a Date object initialized with the given year, month, and day.

The result is undefined if a given argument is out of bounds.

year the year minus 1900; must be 0 to 8099. (Note that 8099 is 9999 minus 1900.)

month 0 to 11

day 1 to 31

deprecated instead use the constructor Date(long date)

public

Date(long date) Details

Constructs a Date object using the given milliseconds time value. If the given milliseconds value contains time information, the driver will set the time components to the time in the default time zone (the time zone of the Java virtual machine running the application) that corresponds to zero GMT.

date

milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT not to exceed the milliseconds representation for the year 8099. A negative number indicates the number of milliseconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.
