Re: newbie question to setTimestamp( int parameterIndex, T

But I have stored my date and time information in a Calendar. Do
I have to construct a Timestamp from it and then use
setTimestamp( int index, Timestamp x) without the Calendar
parameter? What about my timezone?

Timestamp is the actual time that you want to store. The calendar
object is there if you want to use a different calendar to reference
the timestamp to ?
