How to convert unix timestamp to specific format in mysql ?

[Tapan]

Hi,

I am storing dates in mysql as unix timestamps. When I am doing select staments how do i get that unix timestamp converted to this format ?

Format is: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss

Thanks.

You would use DATE_FORMAT() ie: SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date,format) FROM tblname.

You would use DATE_FORMAT()

that's not enough -- you also have to convert the unix timestamp to a datetime value

you could nest FROM_UNIXTIME inside DATE_FORMAT, but luckily, FROM_UNIXTIME also accepts a format string, so you could just use it by itself

Hi,

FROM_UNIXTIME did the trick.

Thanks.
