Simply in one line    java sql Date date   new java sql Date Calendar getInstance   getTime   getTime

These are all too long   Just use   new Date System currentTimeMillis

User · Answer

all you have to do is this      Calendar currenttime   Calendar getInstance                    creates the Calendar object of the current time     Date sqldate   new Date  currenttime getTime    getTime        creates the sql Date of the above created object     pstm setDate 6   java sql Date  date                  assign it to the prepared statement  pstm in this case

A java util Date is not a java sql Date   It s the other way around   A java sql Date is a java util Date   You ll need to convert it to a java sql Date by using the constructor that takes a long that a java util Date can supply   java sql Date sqlDate   new java sql Date utilDate getTime

Since the java sql Date has a constructor that takes  long time  and java util Date has a method that returns  long time   I just pass the returned  long time  to the java sql Date to create the date  java util Date date   new java util Date    java sql Date sqlDate   new Date date getTime

Will do  new Date Instant now   toEpochMilli

You can achieve you goal with below ways  -  long millis System currentTimeMillis      java sql Date date new java sql Date millis       or     create a java calendar instance Calendar calendar   Calendar getInstance        get a java date  java util Date  from the Calendar instance     this java date will represent the current date  or  now   java util Date currentDate   calendar getTime        now  create a java sql Date from the java util Date java sql Date date   new java sql Date currentDate getTime
