(12:54:15 PM) jay: If dbaccess.Date is descended from java.util.Date, this code should work, shouldn't it? dbaccess.Date oneSecondFromNow = new dbaccess.Date(dbaccess.Date.TO_SECOND); oneSecondFromNow.setTime((new Date()).getTime() + 1); I'm getting the current second instead of one second in the future. (12:57:15 PM) gary: + 1000....getTime is milliseconds (12:57:34 PM) jay: Duh. OK, thanks.
