Get Timestamp in specific format

I have a timestamp saved in Azure SQL Database in the format of 2004-09-23 10:52:00. When I fetch the value, I am using sqlrowset where I am using getString("last_updated_user") and getting output like this “2004-09-23 10:52:00.0”. When I tried using getTimeStamp("last_updated_user"), I am getting in microseconds. Can someone help me on formatting it to “2004-09-23 10:52:00” based on some in-built functions like .format or something and not by just removing the decimal by replace or substring?

* For any reason, if you have to stick to Java 6 or Java 7, you can use ThreeTen-Backport which backports most of the java.time functionality to Java 6 & 7. If you are working for an Android project and your Android API level is still not compliant with Java-8, check Java 8+ APIs available through desugaring and How to use ThreeTenABP in Android Project.
