mysql unixstamp_MYSQL中的UNIX_TIMESTAMP函数

偶然看到MySQL的一个函数 unix_timestamp()，不明就里，于是就试验了一番。

unix_timestamp()函数的作用是返回一个确切的时间点的UNIX时间戳，这个Unix时间戳是一个无符号整数。 unix_timestamp()函数有两种重载形式，一是不带任何参数，另外一个是带有一个Date或DateTime或TimeStamp类型的参 数。

unix_timestamp()，返回自1970-1-1 8:00:00开始到当前系统时间为止的秒数。

unix_timestamp(date)，返回1970-1-1 8:00:00开始到date所代表的时间为止的秒数，对于早于1970-1-1 8:00:00的时间，总是返回 0 。

注意：因为中国是东八区，所以是8:00:00.

mysql> select unix_timestamp();

+------------------+

| unix_timestamp() |

+------------------+

|       1303195194 |

+------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select unix_timestamp(current_timestamp());

+-------------------------------------+

| unix_timestamp(current_timestamp()) |

+-------------------------------------+

|                            1303195204 |

+-------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select unix_timestamp('2011-4-19 12:00:00');

+--------------------------------------+

| unix_timestamp('2011-4-19 12:00:00') |

+--------------------------------------+

|                             1303185600 |

+--------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select unix_timestamp('1970-1-1 6:00:00');

+------------------------------------+

| unix_timestamp('1970-1-1 6:00:00') |

+------------------------------------+

|                                     0 |

+------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select unix_timestamp('1970-1-1 8:00:00');

+------------------------------------+

| unix_timestamp('1970-1-1 8:00:00') |

+------------------------------------+

|                                     0 |

+------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select unix_timestamp('1970-1-1 8:00:01');

+------------------------------------+

| unix_timestamp('1970-1-1 8:00:01') |

+------------------------------------+

|                                     1 |

+------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select unix_timestamp('1970-1-1 8:01:00');

+------------------------------------+

| unix_timestamp('1970-1-1 8:01:00') |

+------------------------------------+

|                                 60 |

+------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

了解了这个函数以后，就想如果知道了UNIX时间戳，如何换算成其对就的时间呢？于是想到了以下方法：

mysql> select date_add('1970-01-01 8:00:00',interval 1303191235 second);

+-----------------------------------------------------------+

| date_add('1970-01-01 8:00:00',interval 1303191235 second) |

+-----------------------------------------------------------+

| 2011-04-19 13:33:55                                          |

+-----------------------------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

呵呵，没有想到的是，MySQL也提供了一个函数，叫做 from_unixtime(unixtime)，这个函数和上面那个函数表达式的结果完全相同：

mysql> select from_unixtime(1303191235);

+---------------------------+

| from_unixtime(1303191235) |

+---------------------------+

| 2011-04-19 13:33:55        |

+---------------------------+
