java.sql
public class: Date [javadoc | source]

java.lang.Object
   java.util.Date
      java.sql.Date

All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, Serializable, Comparable

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.

Field Summary
static final  long	serialVersionUID	Private serial version unique ID to ensure serialization compatibility.

Constructor:
public Date(long date) { // If the millisecond date value contains time info, mask it out. super(date); } 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. Parameters: 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.
public Date(int year, int month, int day) { super(year, month, day); } Constructs a Date object initialized with the given year, month, and day. The result is undefined if a given argument is out of bounds. Parameters: 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

Method from java.sql.Date Detail:
public int getHours() { throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(); } Deprecated! This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
public int getMinutes() { throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(); } Deprecated! This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
public int getSeconds() { throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(); } Deprecated! This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
public void setHours(int i) { throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(); } Deprecated! This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
public void setMinutes(int i) { throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(); } Deprecated! This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
public void setSeconds(int i) { throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(); } Deprecated! This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
public void setTime(long date) { // If the millisecond date value contains time info, mask it out. super.setTime(date); } Sets an existing 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.
public String toString() { int year = super.getYear() + 1900; int month = super.getMonth() + 1; int day = super.getDate(); char buf[] = "2000-00-00".toCharArray(); buf[0] = Character.forDigit(year/1000,10); buf[1] = Character.forDigit((year/100)%10,10); buf[2] = Character.forDigit((year/10)%10,10); buf[3] = Character.forDigit(year%10,10); buf[5] = Character.forDigit(month/10,10); buf[6] = Character.forDigit(month%10,10); buf[8] = Character.forDigit(day/10,10); buf[9] = Character.forDigit(day%10,10); return new String(buf); } Formats a date in the date escape format yyyy-mm-dd.
public static Date valueOf(String s) { int year; int month; int day; int firstDash; int secondDash; if (s == null) throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(); firstDash = s.indexOf('-"); secondDash = s.indexOf('-", firstDash+1); if ((firstDash > 0) & (secondDash > 0) & (secondDash < s.length()-1)) { year = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(0, firstDash)) - 1900; month = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(firstDash+1, secondDash)) - 1; day = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(secondDash+1)); } else { throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(); } return new Date(year, month, day); } Converts a string in JDBC date escape format to a Date value.
