The UNIX_TIMESTAMP function in MySQL is a date and time function used to convert a date-time string to the corresponding UNIX timestamp.

The usage of the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function is:

UNIX_TIMESTAMP([datetime])

The datetime parameter is optional and represents the date and time string to be converted. If omitted, the current UNIX timestamp is returned.

This is a great opportunity that I cannot afford to miss.

  1. Get the current UNIX timestamp.
  2. Get the current UNIX timestamp.
  3. Convert a date and time string to a UNIX timestamp.
  4. Show me the UNIX timestamp for January 1, 2022 at midnight.

Please note that the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function returns an integer representing the number of seconds from January 1st, 1970 00:00:00 to the specified date and time.
