java.lang.Object
java.util.Date
java.sql.Date
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- Cloneable,- Comparable<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.

Constructor Details- 
DateDeprecated.instead use the constructorDate(long date)Constructs aDateobject 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
 
- 
Datepublic Date(long date) Constructs aDateobject 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.

Method Details- 
setTimepublic void setTime(long date) Sets an existingDateobject 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.

valueOfConverts a string in JDBC date escape format to aDatevalue.- Parameters:
- s- a- Stringobject representing a date in in the format "yyyy-[m]m-[d]d". The leading zero for- mmand- ddmay also be omitted.
- Returns:
- a java.sql.Dateobject representing the given date
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if the date given is not in the JDBC date escape format (yyyy-[m]m-[d]d)
 
- 
toStringFormats a date in the date escape format yyyy-mm-dd.
