Java Convert Instant to SQL Date

In this Java core tutorial we learn how to convert a java.time.Instant object to a java.sql.Date object in Java programming language.

How to convert Instant to SQL Date in Java

In Java, with a given Instant object we can use follow the steps to convert it to a SQL Date object.

• Step 1: using the LocalDate.ofInstant(Instant instant, ZoneId zone) method to convert the Instant object to LocalDate object in default system time zone.
• Step 2: using the java.sql.Date.valueOf(LocalDate date) static method to instantiate a new SQL Date object from LocalDate value at step 1.

ConvertInstantToSQLDateExample1.java

import java.sql.Date;
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.ZoneId;

public class ConvertInstantToSQLDateExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        Instant instant = Instant.now();

        // Convert Instant object to SQL Date object
        LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.ofInstant(instant, ZoneId.systemDefault());
        Date date = Date.valueOf(localDate);

        System.out.println("Instant: " + instant);
        System.out.println("Date: " + date);
    }
}
