Converting a date to numeric

We have "dates" in one of our databases that are six position numeric fields. I need to take a user keyed date and convert it to a six digit numeric field so I can compare it to the data in the DB. How can I do this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

The Java API provides several classes that help you manipulate dates. Perhaps one of these can help you out:
SimpleDateFormat
DateFormat
Date
These are just a few of the classes I found. See details and links to other classes in the API docs.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
