Description of program:

The following program helps you in converting a date into timestamp format. The java.sql.Timestamp class is a thin wrapper around java.util.Date that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL TIMESTAMP value. It adds the ability to hold the SQL TIMESTAMP value in nanoseconds. It also provides formatting and parsing operations to support the JDBC escape syntax for timestamp values. In this example we are just passing the time into an object of java.sql.Timestamp class as an argument.

Here is the code of program:


import java.util.*;

import java.text.*;

import java.sql.Timestamp;

public class DateToTimestamp {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

 try {  String str_date="11-June-07";

 
DateFormat formatter ; 

 Date date ; 

  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");

  date = (Date)formatter.parse(str_date); 

   
java.sql.Timestamp timeStampDate = new 

    Timestamp(date.getTime());

 System.out.println("Today is " +timeStampDate);

  } catch (ParseException e)

  {System.out.println("Exception :"+e);  }  

 

 }

}

Output of this program:

C:\date>javac DateToMilliseconds.java

C:\date>java DateToMilliseconds
