java.sql.Date to 'dd-mm-yyyy' format

[sandeep Kumar]

Hi All,

Can any one help me with the code snippet for the following?

I am getting a java.sql.Date object from the data base. I wanted it to be converted into the format of 'DD-MM-YYYY' the return object may be either a Date object or a String.

Thanks in Advance. Immediate response would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Sandeep.

Actually if you want something that's formatted as dd-mmm-yyyy it would have to be a String. A Date object doesn't have any format, it's just a date.

Anyway to produce that String you should create a SimpleDateFormat object with the appropriate parameters, then call its format(Date) method on your java.sql.Date.

as Paul suggested SimpleDateFormat is the right solution to make your life easier.

see Java Doc to provide appropriate parameters in your SimpleDateFormat Object. or use Google to find an example.

Use SimpleDateFormat to set the format as you like..
DateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
Date date=new Date();
String s=df.format(date);
System.out.println(s);

Hi Vinnu, Welcome to ranch,

Suggestion : Use UBB Code specially when you pasting a code on forum, This is useful for displaying programming code.

Thanks,
