public class Timestamp extends Date

This class extends the standard java.util.date to represent SQL TIMESTAMP types. It supports subsecond precision and the JDBC escape syntax for time values.

Constructors

Timestamp

public Timestamp(int year, int month, int date, int hour, int minute, int second, int nano)

This constructs a Timestamp object.

Parameters:

year:	The year minus 1900
month:	0 to 11
day:	1 to 31
hour:	0 to 23
minute:	0 to 59
second:	0 to 59
nano:	0 to 999,999,999

Timestamp

public Timestamp(long time)

This constructs a Timestamp object using a time value in milliseconds.

Parameters:

time:

The milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT

Methods

compareTo

public int compareTo(Timestamp ts)

This compares two Timestamps for ordering.

Parameters:

ts:

The Timestamp to be compared.

Returns: 0 if the timestamp equals ts; a negative value if the timestamp is anterior to ts; a positive value if the timestamp is posterior to ts

equals

public boolean equals(Timestamp ts)

This compares the current Timestamp object with another.

Parameters:

ts:

The Timestamp value to compare with

Returns: true if they are equal

getNanos

public int getNanos()

This gets the Timestamp’s nanosecond value.

Returns: The Timestamp’s nanosecond value

setNanos

public void setNanos(int n)

This sets the Timestamp’s nanosecond value.

Parameters:

n:

The Timestamp’s nanosecond value

toString

public String toString()

This converts a Timestamp to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.F format.

Returns: A YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.F formatted timestamp String

valueOf

public static Timestamp valueOf(String s) 

This converts a YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.F formatted string to a Timestamp value.

Parameters:

s:

The timestamp formatted as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.F

Returns: A Timestamp value
