How to format a java.sql Timestamp for displaying?

Question

How do I formate a java.sql Timestamp to my liking ? ( to a string, for display purposes)

Accepted Answer

`java.sql.Timestamp` extends `java.util.Date`. You can do:

```
String s = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(myTimestamp);
```

Or to also include time:

```
String s = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss").format(myTimestamp);
```
