How to get date from database?

Question

Java

From the database I get a string with the date and time.
The string could be: 2015-01-25 16:26:08.34
ResultSet rs;
java.sql.Timestamp sqlts = rs.getTimestamp(index);
Then this date should be used in an external object (processing, sorting, etc.)
What and how to convert it better util.Date or util.Calendar?

Answer 1

Timestamp is a normal long.
Try this new Date(sqlts.getTime()).
In Java 8, Timestamp has toInstant() and toLocalDateTim() methods. You can try to use them.
