How do I convert timestamps in my database?

To convert timestamps, you can use functions like UNIX_TIMESTAMP() or FROM_UNIXTIME() in SQL. What database are you using?

I'm using MySQL. Can you give me an example?

Sure! To convert a UNIX timestamp to a readable date in MySQL, you can use: SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(your_timestamp_column) FROM your_table;

What if I want to convert it to a different timezone?

You can use the CONVERT_TZ() function. For example: SELECT CONVERT_TZ(FROM_UNIXTIME(your_timestamp_column), 'UTC', 'America/New_York') FROM your_table;

Thanks! Is there a way to format the output?

Yes! You can format the output using the DATE_FORMAT() function. For example: SELECT DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(your_timestamp_column), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') FROM your_table;
