Simple example for clarity:

Java code:
```
String insert;
insert = "insert into public.testtable(this_is_a_date) values (?)";
statement = connection.prepareStatement(insert);
statement.setDate(1, java.sql.Date.valueOf("1000-01-01"));
statement.executeUpdate();
insert = "insert into public.testtable(this_is_a_date) values ('1000-01-01')";
statement = connection.prepareStatement(insert);
statement.executeUpdate();

String select = "SELECT * FROM public.testtable";
statement = connection.prepareStatement(select);
resultSet = statement.executeQuery();

while (resultSet.next()) {
    String str = resultSet.getString(2);
    java.sql.Date date = resultSet.getDate(2);
    System.out.println("As String: " + str);
    System.out.println("As sql.Date: " + date);
    System.out.println("Epoch within sql.Date: " + date.getTime());
}
```

**Results with driver 42.7.8:**
Output:
```
As String: 1000-01-01
As sql.Date: 1000-01-01
Epoch within sql.Date: -30609795600000
As String: 1000-01-01
As sql.Date: 1000-01-01
Epoch within sql.Date: -30609795600000
```

psql:
```
postgres=# select * from public.testtable;
 id | this_is_a_date
----+----------------
