How can I convert a Timestamp into either Date or DateTime object?

Question

I\'m retrieving a timestamp object from a database using ResultSet.getTimestamp(), but I\'d like an easy way to get the date in the format of MM/DD/YYYY

Answer 1

import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class DateTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
        Date date = new Date(timestamp.getTime());

        // S is the millisecond
        SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy' 'HH:mm:ss:S");

        System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(timestamp));
        System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(date));
    }
}
