java.sql.Timestamp into String in DD/MM/YY

[ashsa]

Hi all

Is there any direct method to change a Timestamp got from the table into a String of the form (dd/mm/yy)?

Or should i only have to do some String Manipulations to get it in the required format?

Please do help with a snippet of code if any ..

Many Thanks for any help

Have you looked into the documentation of a GregorianCalend ar object? (As Date objects no longer exist except as interfaces... :( ). Try using Google with something like "java date format". That should give you what you need. I'm also betting (although it is a different class) that you could find it by looking through the GregorianCalend ar documentation (though I'm not 100% sure).

Anyway, yes there is a Java class that will format a Date to a specific pattern, to which you can load a string into it.
