Question

java.util.Date gets stored as 2010-09-03 15:33:22.246 when the SQL data type is timestamp, how do I set the sub seconds to zero (e.g. 246 in this case) prior to storing the record.

Answer 1

Here is an idea:

public static void main(String[] args) {
       SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("S");
       Date d = new Date();
       System.out.println(df.format(d));
       Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
       c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
       d.setTime(c.getTimeInMillis());
       System.out.println(df.format(d));

}
