Title: RE: Date problem

Well..It depends what getXXX() method is called. JDBC does provide getDate(), getTime() and getTimestamp() methods to retrieve date information from the database as instances of java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time and java.sql.Timestamp respectively. And then one can convert it to java.util.Date by applying getTime() method on the specific java.sql Date object.   Thanks   Zahid.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Sourabh Ahuja To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 11:20 AM Subject: Re: Date problem Hi Manish. When you read date from the DataBase using proper driver for java, it will return you an instance of TimeStamp. Use this object to extract the Date. TimeStamp Class is defined in java.sql package.
