Re: Subtracting a day from java.sql.Date

Hope the following approach will help you.

        java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MMM
dd,yyyy");
        java.sql.Date aDate = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
        System.out.println(sdf.format(aDate));

--- the output is "May 22,2003"

You can always change the format, such as "MM-dd-yyyy", etc.

Qingyi
