To achieve this, the following is the syntax
select date_format(from_unixtime(yourColumnName),'%b %d, %Y %l:%i %p PDT') from yourTableName;
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows
mysql> create table unixTimeStampFormatDemo -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> MyTimeStampValue bigint -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.59 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into unixTimeStampFormatDemo(MyTimeStampValue) values(1334428200); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into unixTimeStampFormatDemo(MyTimeStampValue) values(1513881000); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into unixTimeStampFormatDemo(MyTimeStampValue) values(1542738600); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into unixTimeStampFormatDemo(MyTimeStampValue) values(1551637800); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from unixTimeStampFormatDemo;
The following is the output
+----+------------------+ | Id | MyTimeStampValue | +----+------------------+ | 1 | 1334428200 | | 2 | 1513881000 | | 3 | 1542738600 | | 4 | 1551637800 | +----+------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to convert MySQL Unix-Timestamp Format to datetime
mysql> select date_format(from_unixtime(MyTimeStampValue),'%b %d, %Y %l:%i %p PDT') from unixTimeStampFormatDemo;
The following is the output
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | date_format(from_unixtime(MyTimeStampValue),'%b %d, %Y %l:%i %p PDT') | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Apr 15, 2012 12:00 AM PDT | | Dec 22, 2017 12:00 AM PDT | | Nov 21, 2018 12:00 AM PDT | | Mar 04, 2019 12:00 AM PDT | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
