Question

How can I create a Timestamp with the date 23/09/2007?

Answer 1

By Timestamp, I presume you mean java.sql.Timestamp. You will notice that this class has a constructor that accepts a long argument. You can parse this using the DateFormat class:

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date date = dateFormat.parse("23/09/2007");
long time = date.getTime();
new Timestamp(time);
