Best way to convert Java SQL Date from yyyy-MM-dd to dd MMMM yyyy format

by

Object such as java.sql.Date and java.util.Date (of which java.sql.Date is a subclass) don’t have a format of themselves. You use a java.text.DateFormat object to display these objects in a specific format, and it’s the DateFormat (not the Date itself) that determines the format.

For example:

Date date = ...;  // wherever you get this
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMMM yyyy");
String text = df.format(date);
System.out.println(text);

Note: When you print a Date object without using a DateFormat object, like this:

Date date = ...;
System.out.println(date);

then it will be formatted using some default format. That default format is however not a property of the Date object that you can change.
