## Uses of Class
java.sql.Date

Packages that use Date
java.sql: Provides the API for accessing and processing data stored in a data source (usually a relational database) using the Java™ programming language.
javax.sql: Provides the API for server side data source access and processing from the Java™ programming language.
javax.sql.rowset: Standard interfaces and base classes for JDBC `RowSet` implementations.
javax.sql.rowset.serial: Provides utility classes to allow serializable mappings between SQL types and data types in the Java programming language.
