Re: Subtracting a day from java.sql.Date

Hi !
    This is not much relevent to your requirement, but I believe it will be
helpful !

                java.sql.Date dt0 = new java.sql.Date(103,2,21);
                java.util.Date dt1 = new java.util.Date();
                long diff = dt1.getTime() - dt0.getTime();
                System.out.println(diff/(24*60*60*1000)); // No of days between dt1 and
dt0

Thanks,

Subject: Subtracting a day from java.sql.Date


Hello all.  I'm trying to subtract a day from a java.sql.Date class
variable.  Looking at the java docs, there is no method to do this.  All the
date modification methods belong to another class, java.util.Calendar.  To
be able subtract a day from my class, should I convert it to the Calendar
class and then back to the Date class or is there something easier that I'm
missing.  My main requirement is to have it in a java.sql.Date class when
done.  Any example code would be much appreciated (I have to admit I'm still
a lightweight in Java).

Thanks,
Kenny
