scala - Comparing java.sql.timestamp values

Question

for Timestamp values, how to compare the <= or >=, as we can use the existing

myTs.before(someTs)

But this internally checks < not <=
I need to check basically myTs <= someTs1 and myTs>=someTs1

How do we compare <= or >= and also how do we get the epoch seconds from timestamp ?

Answer 1

The compareTo() method of Timestamp class returns :

• Integer value 0 if this Timestamp object is equal to given Timestamp

• A value less than 0 if this Timestamp object is before the given argument

• A value greater than 0 if this Timestamp object is after the given argument

  ts1.compareTo(ts2) >= 0
