I am calling a stored procedure in Sybase via
JDBC. One of the columns in the resultset is a date time field. I am using a java.sql.Timestamp object to retrieve the data:
However, this value stops at the "seconds" place; it does not have the milliseconds. The milliseconds are included in the database. I looked in the API and found the following note in the java.sql.Timestamp class:
This type is a composite of a java.util.Date and a separate nanoseconds value. Only integral seconds are stored in the java.util.Date component. The fractional seconds - the nanos - are separate. The getTime method will return only integral seconds. If a time value that includes the fractional seconds is desired, you must convert nanos to milliseconds (nanos/1000000) and add this to the getTime value.
I then tried the following code based on the suggestion:
The code for Converter.convertDateToGregorianCalendar:
However, when I try to compile this code, I get an error saying that get/setTimeInMillis in not visible. I looked; it is protected not public.
I don't understand what it means by "you must convert nanos to milliseconds (nanos/1000000) and add this to the getTime value". Can anyone help me get the milliseconds stored in the GregorianCalendar object? It is important for my application. I appreciate your comments.
