## java.sql
Class Time

    java.lang.Object
      java.util.Date
          java.sql.Time

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable, Comparable, Serializable

public class Time
extends Date

A thin wrapper around the `java.util.Date` class that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL `TIME` value. The `Time` class adds formatting and parsing operations to support the JDBC escape syntax for time values.

The date components should be set to the "zero epoch" value of January 1, 1970 and should not be accessed.

Constructor Detail

### Time

    public Time(int hour,
                int minute,
                int second)

  Deprecated. Use the constructor that takes a milliseconds value in place of this constructor

  Constructs a `Time` object initialized with the given values for the hour, minute, and second. The driver sets the date components to January 1, 1970. Any method that attempts to access the date components of a `Time` object will throw a `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`.

  The result is undefined if a given argument is out of bounds.

Parameters:
  `hour` - 0 to 23
  `minute` - 0 to 59
  `second` - 0 to 59

### Time

    public Time(long time)

  Constructs a `Time` object using a milliseconds time value.

Parameters:
  `time` - milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT; a negative number is milliseconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT

Method Detail

### setTime

    public void setTime(long time)

  Sets a `Time` object using a milliseconds time value.

  Overrides:
    `setTime` in class `Date`
  Parameters:
    `time` - milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT; a negative number is milliseconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT

### valueOf

    public static Time valueOf(String s)

  Converts a string in JDBC time escape format to a `Time` value.

  Parameters:
    `s` - time in format "hh:mm:ss"
  Returns:
    a corresponding `Time` object

### toString

    public String toString()

  Formats a time in JDBC time escape format.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Date`
  Returns:
    a `String` in hh:mm:ss format
  See Also:
    `Date.toLocaleString()`, `Date.toGMTString()`

### getYear

    public int getYear()

  Deprecated.

  This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a year component.

  Overrides:
    `getYear` in class `Date`
  Returns:
    the year represented by this date, minus 1900.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this method is invoked
  See Also:
    `setYear(int)`

### getMonth

    public int getMonth()

  Deprecated.

  This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a month component.

  Overrides:
    `getMonth` in class `Date`
  Returns:
    the month represented by this date.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this method is invoked
  See Also:
    `setMonth(int)`

### getDay

    public int getDay()

  Deprecated.

  This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a day component.

  Overrides:
    `getDay` in class `Date`
  Returns:
    the day of the week represented by this date.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this method is invoked
  See Also:
    `Calendar`

### getDate

    public int getDate()

  Deprecated.

  This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a date component.

  Overrides:
    `getDate` in class `Date`
  Returns:
    the day of the month represented by this date.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this method is invoked
  See Also:
    `setDate(int)`

### setYear

    public void setYear(int i)

  Deprecated.

  This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a year component.

  Overrides:
    `setYear` in class `Date`
  Parameters:
    `i` - the year value.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this method is invoked
  See Also:
    `getYear()`

### setMonth

    public void setMonth(int i)

  Deprecated.

  This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a month component.

  Overrides:
    `setMonth` in class `Date`
  Parameters:
    `i` - the month value between 0-11.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this method is invoked
  See Also:
    `getMonth()`

### setDate

    public void setDate(int i)

  Deprecated.

  This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a date component.

  Overrides:
    `setDate` in class `Date`
