The constructor for java.sql.Date() takes millseconds as a parameter.
So to get the current date in millseconds I use new
java.util.Date().getTime()
i.e new java.sql.Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()))
How else would you do it?
Thanks

I didn't understand why u r using (new java,util.Date()) there.
U can just use new java.sql.Date()
