    public class Timestamp
extends Date

    A thin wrapper around java.util.Date that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL TIMESTAMP value. It adds the ability to hold the SQL TIMESTAMP fractional seconds value, by allowing the specification of fractional seconds to a precision of nanoseconds. A Timestamp also provides formatting and parsing operations to support the JDBC escape syntax for timestamp values.

    The precision of a Timestamp object is calculated to be either:

    • 19 , which is the number of characters in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
    • 20 + s , which is the number of characters in the yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.[fff...] and s represents the scale of the given Timestamp, its fractional seconds precision.

    Note: This type is a composite of a java.util.Date and a separate nanoseconds value. Only integral seconds are stored in the java.util.Date component. The fractional seconds - the nanos - are separate. The Timestamp.equals(Object) method never returns true when passed an object that isn't an instance of java.sql.Timestamp, because the nanos component of a date is unknown. As a result, the Timestamp.equals(Object) method is not symmetric with respect to the java.util.Date.equals(Object) method. Also, the hashCode method uses the underlying java.util.Date implementation and therefore does not include nanos in its computation.

    Due to the differences between the Timestamp class and the java.util.Date class mentioned above, it is recommended that code not view Timestamp values generically as an instance of java.util.Date. The inheritance relationship between Timestamp and java.util.Date really denotes implementation inheritance, and not type inheritance.

      • equals

        public boolean equals(Object ts)

        Date.getTime()

      • before

        public boolean before(Timestamp ts)

        Parameters:
        ts - the Timestamp value to compare with
        Returns:
        true if this Timestamp object is earlier; false otherwise

      • after

        public boolean after(Timestamp ts)
        Indicates whether this Timestamp object is later than the given Timestamp object.
        Parameters:
        ts - the Timestamp value to compare with

      • compareTo

        public int compareTo(Timestamp ts)
        Compares this Timestamp object to the given Timestamp object.
        Parameters:
        ts - the Timestamp object to be compared to this Timestamp object
        Returns:
        the value 0 if the two Timestamp objects are equal; a value less than 0 if this Timestamp object is before the given argument; and a value greater than 0 if this Timestamp object is after the given argument.
        Since:
        1.4

      • compareTo

        public int compareTo(Date o)
        Compares this Timestamp object to the given Date object.
        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface Comparable<Date>
        Overrides:
        compareTo in class Date
        Parameters:
        o - the Date to be compared to this Timestamp object
        Returns:
        the value 0 if this Timestamp object and the given object are equal; a value less than 0 if this Timestamp object is before the given argument; and a value greater than 0 if this Timestamp object is after the given argument.
        Since:
        1.5

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Returns a hash code value for this object. The result is the exclusive OR of the two halves of the primitive long value returned by the Date.getTime() method. That is, the hash code is the value of the expression: 
         (int)(this.getTime()^(this.getTime() >>> 32))
        The hashCode method uses the underlying java.util.Date implementation and therefore does not include nanos in its computation.
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Date
        Returns:
        a hash code value for this object.
        See Also:
