世界各地的时间(可测量的第四维度)是不同的,这是一个普遍的误解。时间戳作为一个时刻是独一无二的。然而,日期会影响我们“看到”时间的方式,但实际上它是“一天中的时间”。
一个例子:两个人同时看表。时间戳是一样的,对吧?但其中一个在伦敦,看到中午 12:00(格林威治标准时间,时区偏移量为 0),另一个在贝尔格莱德,看到 14:00(CET,中欧,现在是夏令时,偏移量为 +2)。
他们的看法不同,但时刻是相同的。
您可以在此答案中找到更多详细信息。

好的,这不是这个问题的重复,但它是没有意义的,因为你混淆了“时间戳 = 时刻(客观)”和“日期 [时间] = 一天中的时间(主观)”这两个术语。
让我们看一下您的原始问题代码,如下所示:
// Get the "original" value from database.
Timestamp momentFromDB = rs.getTimestamp("anytimestampcolumn");
// Turn it into a Joda DateTime with time zone.
DateTime dt = new DateTime(momentFromDB, DateTimeZone.forID("anytimezone"));
// And then turn it back into a timestamp but "with time zone".
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(dt.getMillis());
我还没有运行这段代码,但我确信它true
每次都会打印相同的毫秒数:
System.out.println("momentFromDB == dt : " + (momentFromDB.getTime() == dt.getTimeInMillis());
System.out.println("momentFromDB == ts : " + (momentFromDB.getTime() == ts.getTime()));
System.out.println("dt == ts : " + (dt.getTimeInMillis() == ts.getTime()));
System.out.println("momentFromDB [ms] : " + momentFromDB.getTime());
System.out.println("ts [ms] : " + ts.getTime());
System.out.println("dt [ms] : " + dt.getTimeInMillis());
但是正如您所说,您自己将它们打印为字符串会导致“不同”时间,因为DateTime
应用了时区。这就是为什么“时间”作为Timestamp
对象存储和传输(基本上包含 a long
)并显示或输入为Date[Time]
.
在您自己的答案中,您是在人为地添加偏移量并创建“错误”时间。如果您使用该时间戳创建另一个DateTime
并将其打印出来,它将被偏移两次。
// Turn it back into a Joda DateTime with time zone.
DateTime dt = new DateTime(ts, DateTimeZone.forID("anytimezone"));
PS 如果您有时间,请查看非常复杂的Joda Time 源代码,看看它如何保持时间(毫秒)以及如何打印它。
