mysql 毫秒时间戳,具有毫秒精度的时间戳记：如何将它们保存在MySQL中

I have to develop a application using MySQL and I have to save values like "1412792828893" which represent a timestamp but with a precision of a millisecond. That is, the amount of milliseconds since 1.1.1970. I declare the row as timestamp but unfortunately this didn't work. All values are set to 0000-00-00 00:00:00

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `probability` (

`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

`segment_id` int(11) NOT NULL,

`probability` float NOT NULL,

`measured_at` timestamp NOT NULL,

`provider_id` int(11) NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

) ;

How should be the declaration in order to be able to save timestamp values with this precision?

You need to be at MySQL version 5.6.4 or later to declare columns with fractional-second time datatypes. Not sure you have the right version? Try SELECT NOW(3). If you get an error, you don't have the right version.

For example, DATETIME(3) will give you millisecond resolution in your timestamps, and TIMESTAMP(6) will give you microsecond resolution on a *nix-style timestamp.

NOW(3) will give you the present time from your MySQL server's operating system with millisecond precision.

If you have a number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch, try this to get a DATETIME(3) value

FROM_UNIXTIME(ms * 0.001)

Javascript timestamps, for example, are represented in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

(Notice that MySQL internal fractional arithmetic, like * 0.001, is always handled as IEEE754 double precision floating point, so it's unlikely you'll lose precision before the Sun becomes a white dwarf star.)

If you're using an older version of MySQL and you need subsecond time precision, your best path is to upgrade. Anything else will force you into doing messy workarounds.

If, for some reason you can't upgrade, you could consider using BIGINT or DOUBLE columns to store Javascript timestamps as if they were numbers. FROM_UNIXTIME(col * 0.001) will still work OK. If you need the current time to store in such a column, you could use UNIX_TIMESTAMP() * 1000
