Message:

Use Date dateAgain = new Date ( db_result ) ;

Posted by Kishori Sharan on January 30, 2001 at 7:37 PM

To get the date object back just use this result in constructor of Date class. Suppose, you have the date result in a long variable like
long db_result = 979885155970 ; //

// If you have a string then do like
try {
db_result = Long.parseLong ( "979885155970" ) ;
}
catch ( Exception e ) {
}

// To get a date object using your result from database
Date dateAgain = new Date ( db_result ) ;

Now use you dateAgain object in whatever way you want...

Thanx
