Question

I have a table with a date field, having human date in it like: ‘2008-01-08 19:23:32’
Now i have to copy this field plus some other fields of the same table to another table, but date needs to be in unix timestamp.

Is there any function in mysql which converts human date to unix timestamp inside query itself?

Answer 1

mysql> select unix_timestamp('2008-01-08 19:23:32');

| unix_timestamp('2008-01-08 19:23:32') |
