Date (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences. Please send any questions or feedback to bam@cs.cmu.edu.

DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD

java.sql
class Date

java.lang.Object
  java.util.Date
      java.sql.Date

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Cloneable, Comparable

Most common way to construct:

Date date = new Date();

Based on 25 examples

public class Date
extends Date

A thin wrapper around a millisecond value that allows JDBC to identify this as an SQL DATE value. A milliseconds value represents the number of milliseconds that have passed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00.000 GMT.

To conform with the definition of SQL DATE, the millisecond values wrapped by a java.sql.Date instance must be 'normalized' by setting the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds to zero in the particular time zone with which the instance is associated.

Constructor Summary
`Date(int year, int month, int day)` Constructs a `Date` object initialized with the given year, month, and day.
`Date(long date)` Constructs a `Date` object using the given milliseconds time value.

Method Summary
`int`	`getHours()` This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
`int`	`getMinutes()` This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
`int`	`getSeconds()` This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
`void`	`setHours(int i)` This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
`void`	`setMinutes(int i)` This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
`void`	`setSeconds(int i)` This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
`void`	`setTime(long date)` Sets an existing `Date` object using the given milliseconds time value.
`String`	`toString()` Formats a date in the date escape format yyyy-mm-dd.
`static Date`	`valueOf(String s)` Converts a string in JDBC date escape format to a `Date` value.

Constructor Detail

Date

public Date(int year,
            int month,
            int day)

Constructs a Date object initialized with the given year, month, and day.

The result is undefined if a given argument is out of bounds.

Parameters:: year - the year minus 1900; must be 0 to 8099. (Note that 8099 is 9999 minus 1900.); month - 0 to 11; day - 1 to 31

Date

public Date(long date)

Constructs a Date object using the given milliseconds time value. If the given milliseconds value contains time information, the driver will set the time components to the time in the default time zone (the time zone of the Java virtual machine running the application) that corresponds to zero GMT.

Parameters:: date - milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT not to exceed the milliseconds representation for the year 8099. A negative number indicates the number of milliseconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.
