How to convert from java sql Timestamp to java util Date

Question

i e  this code   startDate   new Date timestampValue getTime      gives me    2012-16-02 05 16 17  when  System out println timestampValue     return    2012-01-02 05 16 17 0

You should use a Calendar instead   Calendar start   Calendar getInstance    start setTimeInMillis  timeStampValue getTime

The problem is probably coming from the fact that Date is deprecated   Consider using   java util Calendar  or   Joda-Time  Edit 2015   Java 8 and later has built-in the new java time package  which is similar to Joda-Time

Class java sql TimeStamp extends from java util Date   You can directly assign a TimeStamp object to Date reference   TimeStamp timeStamp     whatever value you have  Date startDate   timestampValue

tl dr  Instant instant   myResultSet getObject        Instant class          or  if your JDBC driver does not support the optional Instant  it is required to support OffsetDateTime   OffsetDateTime odt   myResultSet getObject        OffsetDateTime class       Avoid both java util Date  amp  java sql Timestamp  They have been replaced by the java time classes  Specifically  the Instant class representing a moment on the timeline in UTC with a resolution of nanoseconds  up to nine  9  digits of a decimal fraction     Different Values   Unverified Problem  To address the main part of the Question   Why different dates between java util Date and java sql Timestamp objects when one is derived from the other    There must be a problem with your code  You did not post your code  so we cannot pinpoint the problem    First  that string value you show for value of java util Date did not come from its default toString method  so you obviously were doing additional operations   Secondly  when I run similar code I do indeed get exact same date-time values   First create a java sql Timestamp object      Timestamp long millis1    new java util Date   getTime    java sql Timestamp ts   new java sql Timestamp millis1     Now extract the count-of-milliseconds-since-epoch to instantiate a java util Date object      Date long millis2   ts getTime    java util Date date   new java util Date  millis2      Dump values to console   System out println  millis1       millis1    System out println  ts       ts    System out println  millis2       millis2    System out println  date       date      When run   millis1   1434666385642 ts   2015-06-18 15 26 25 642 millis2   1434666385642 date   Thu Jun 18 15 26 25 PDT 2015   So the code shown in the Question is indeed a valid way to convert from java sql Timestamp to java util Date  though you will lose any nanoseconds data   java util Date someDate   new Date  someJUTimestamp getTime         Different Formats Of String Output  Note that the output of the toString methods is a different format  as documented  The java sql Timestamp follows SQL format  similar to ISO 8601 format but without the T in middle   Ignore Inheritance  As discussed on comments on other Answers and the Question  you should ignore the fact that java sql Timestamp inherits from java util Date  The j s Timestamp doc clearly states that you should not view one as a sub-type of the other   emphasis mine      Due to the differences between the Timestamp class and the java util Date class mentioned above  it is recommended that code not view Timestamp values generically as an instance of java util Date  The inheritance relationship between Timestamp and java util Date really denotes implementation inheritance  and not type inheritance    If you ignore the Java team   s advice and take such a view  one critical problem is that you will lose data  any microsecond or nanosecond part of a second that may be coming from the database is lost as a Date has only millisecond resolution   Basically  all the old date-time classes from early Java are a big mess  java util Date  j u Calendar  java text SimpleDateFormat  java sql Timestamp  Date  Time  They were one of the first valiant efforts at a date-time framework in the industry  but ultimately they fail  Specifically here  java sql Timestamp is a java util Date with nanoseconds tacked on  this is a hack  not good design   java time  Avoid the old date-time classes bundled with early versions of Java   Instead use the java time package  Tutorial  built into Java 8 and later whenever possible    Basics of java time    An Instant is a moment on the timeline in UTC  Apply a time zone  ZoneId  to get a ZonedDateTime    Example code using java time as of Java 8  With a JDBC driver supporting JDBC 4 2 and later  you can directly exchange java time classes with your database  no need for the legacy classes   Instant instant   myResultSet getObject        Instant class        Instant is the raw underlying data  an instantaneous point on the time-line stored as a count of nanoseconds since epoch    You may want to adjust into a time zone other than UTC   ZoneId z   ZoneId of   America Montreal         Always make time zone explicit rather than relying implicitly on the JVM   s current default time zone being applied  ZonedDateTime zdt   instant atZone  z       Perform your business logic  Here we simply add a day   ZonedDateTime zdtNextDay   zdt plusDays  1       Add a day to get  day after     At the last stage  if absolutely needed  convert to a java util Date for interoperability   java util Date dateNextDay   Date from  zdtNextDay toInstant           WARNING  Losing data  the nanoseconds resolution     Dump to console   System out println   instant       instant    System out println   zdt       zdt    System out println   zdtNextDay       zdtNextDay    System out println   dateNextDay       dateNextDay      When run   instant   2015-06-18T16 44 13 123456789Z zdt   2015-06-18T19 44 13 123456789-04 00 America Montreal  zdtNextDay   2015-06-19T19 44 13 123456789-04 00 America Montreal  dateNextDay   Fri Jun 19 16 44 13 PDT 2015   Conversions  If you must use the legacy types to interface with old code not yet updated for java time  you may convert  Use new methods added to the old java util Date and java sql   classes for conversion   Instant instant   myJavaSqlTimestamp toInstant          and     java sql Timestamp ts   java sql Timestamp from  instant       See the Tutorial chapter  Legacy Date-Time Code  for more info on conversions   Fractional Second  Be aware of the resolution of the fractional second  Conversions from nanoseconds to milliseconds means potentially losing some data    Milliseconds   java util Date Joda-Time  the framework that inspired java time   Nanoseconds   java sql Timestamp  java time      About java time  The java time framework is built into Java 8 and later  These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java util Date  Calendar   amp  SimpleDateFormat   The Joda-Time project  now in maintenance mode  advises migration to the java time classes   To learn more  see the Oracle Tutorial  And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations  Specification is JSR 310   You may exchange java time objects directly with your database  Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4 2 or later  No need for strings  no need for java sql   classes   Where to obtain the java time classes     Java SE 8  Java SE 9  Java SE 10  and later   Built-in   Part of the standard Java API with a bundled implementation  Java 9 adds some minor features and fixes   Java SE 6 and Java SE 7   Much of the java time functionality is back-ported to Java 6  amp  7 in ThreeTen-Backport   Android   Later versions of Android bundle implementations of the java time classes  For earlier Android   lt 26   the ThreeTenABP project adapts ThreeTen-Backport  mentioned above   See How to use ThreeTenABP        The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java time with additional classes  This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java time  You may find some useful classes here such as Interval  YearWeek  YearQuarter  and more
