How to convert LocalDate to SQL Date in Java

In Java, with a given LocalDate object we can use the java.sql.Date.valueOf(LocalDate date) static method to instantiate a new SQL Date object from LocalDate value as the following Java program.

ConvertLocalDateToSQLDateExample1.java

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

public class ConvertLocalDateToSQLDateExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();

        // Convert LocalDate object to SQL Date object
        Date date = Date.valueOf(localDate);

        System.out.println("LocalDate: " + localDate);
        System.out.println("Date: " + date);
    }
}
