How to change a long variable to a Timestamp in Java?

Question

How do I change a long variable to a Timestamp variable? I can convert it to a String but I need to convert it to Timestamp in order to use it in a database.

Answer 1

Timestamp extends java.util.Date and it has a constructor that accepts a long.

Like this:

import java.sql.Timestamp;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        long inputLong = 1234567890l * 1000l;  // Constructor expects a milliseconds value

        Timestamp outputTimestamp = new Timestamp(inputLong);

        System.out.println (outputTimestamp);
    }

}
