Select timestamp as date string in MySQL?
To select timestamp as date string in MySQL, the syntax is as follows −
select FROM_UNIXTIME(yourColumnName, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') from yourTableName;
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −
mysql> create table select_timestampDemo -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> ArrivalDateTime int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.62 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into select_timestampDemo(ArrivalDateTime) values(1546499730); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into select_timestampDemo(ArrivalDateTime) values(1546210820); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec) mysql> insert into select_timestampDemo(ArrivalDateTime) values(1496363157); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.29 sec)
Now you can display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from select_timestampDemo;
Here is the output −
+----+-----------------+ | Id | ArrivalDateTime | +----+-----------------+ | 1 | 1546499730 | | 2 | 1546210820 | | 3 | 1496363157 | +----+-----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The following is the query to select timestamp as a date string −
mysql> select FROM_UNIXTIME(ArrivalDateTime, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') from select_timestampDemo;
Here is the output −
+-----------------------------------------------------+ | FROM_UNIXTIME(ArrivalDateTime, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') | +-----------------------------------------------------+ | 2019-01-03 12:45:30 | | 2018-12-31 04:30:20 | | 2017-06-02 05:55:57 | +-----------------------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
