How to convert timestamp to datetime in MySQL?

How to convert 1300464000 to 2011-03-18 16:00:00 in MySQL?


Solution 1:

Use the FROM_UNIXTIME() function in MySQL

Remember that if you are using a framework that stores it in milliseconds (for example Java's timestamp) you have to divide by 1000 to obtain the right Unix time in seconds.

Solution 2:

DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(`orderdate`), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') as "Date" FROM `orders`

This is the ultimate solution if the given date is in encoded format like 1300464000
