ResultSet getDate conversion to Util Date?

[Peter White]

Is it a general practice to do something like the following:

java.util.Date myDate = new java.util.Date(rs.getDate(col).getTime());

Or is there a better technique? I read somewhere that doing the above might change the date because of a nanosecond bug in Java?

Thanks

Peter,
That's what I've always used. I haven't had any conversion problems, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

I think the issue I saw was maybe more to do with sybase only storing fractions of seconds. Basically I was getting a slightly different date back from what I was storing.

Thanks

Peter
