Let us now see the following methods to calculate the time difference between two timestamps in seconds.

Method

The following is the query to calculate the difference between two timestamps.

mysql> SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND, '2018-10-17 11:51:55', '2018-10-17 11:51:58');

The following is the output in seconds.

+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND, '2018-10-17 11:51:55', '2018-10-17 11:51:58') |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                                   3 |

mysql>  SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2018-10-17 11:57:50') - UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2018-10-17 11:57:45') as DifferenceInSeconds;

The following is the output in seconds.
