Answer 1

I believe you need to do this:

1. Convert everythingButNano using SimpleDateFormat or the like to everythingDate.
2. Convert nano using Long.valueof(nano)
3. Convert everythingDate to a Timestamp with new Timestamp(everythingDate.getTime())
4. Set the Timestamp nanos with Timestamp.setNano()
