Java : How to convert java.util.Date to java.sql.Date?

 Introduction

In this article, we will learn how to convert java.util.Date to java.sql.Date

Example:

import java.util.Calendar;

import java.util.Date;

public class DateConversion {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Date date = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();

java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date( date.getTime());

}

}

Please note that both these Date classes are outdated now. Use java.Time classes instead of legacy java.util.Date& java.sql.Date with JDBC 4.2 or later.

• Use Instant class instead of java.util.Date
• Use LocalDate instead of java.sql.Date
