Java Convert SQL Date to Instant

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

How to convert SQL Date to Instant in Java

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

• Step 1: use Date.getTime() method to get epoch milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT value.
• Step 2: use Instant.ofEpochMilli(long epochMilli) to create a new Instant object from epoch milliseconds value of step 1.

ConvertSQLDateToInstantExample1.java

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

public class ConvertSQLDateToInstantExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        Date date = Date.valueOf("2022-05-29");

        // Convert SQL Date object to Instant object
        Instant instant = Instant.ofEpochMilli(date.getTime());

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

SQL Date: 2022-05-29
Instant: 2022-05-28T17:00:00Z

Happy Coding 😊
