The function from_unixtime in MySQL is used to convert Unix timestamp into the corresponding date and time format.<\/p>\n

Its syntax is as follows:<\/p>\n

FROM_UNIXTIME(unix_timestamp [, format])\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
In which, unix_timestamp is an integer that represents the number of seconds from 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 to the specified time. Format is an optional parameter used to specify the output date and time format.<\/p>\n
Here are some common examples of date and time formats:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. %Y-%m-%d: Output in the format of “year-month-day”, for example: 2022-01-01<\/li>\n
  2. Output in the format of “year-month-day hour:minute:second”, for example: 2022-01-01 10:30:00.<\/li>\n
  3. Date: Output in the “year-month-day” format, for example: 2022-01-01<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Example usage:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Convert a Unix timestamp to the default date and time format.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      SELECT<\/span> FROM_UNIXTIME(1641024000<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      Output: January 1, 2022 12:00:00 AM<\/p>\n
        \n
      1. Convert Unix timestamp to a specified date format.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        SELECT<\/span> FROM_UNIXTIME(1641024000<\/span>, '%Y-%m-%d'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        Output: January 1, 2022<\/p>\n
          \n
        1. Convert a Unix timestamp to a specified date and time format.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          SELECT<\/span> FROM_UNIXTIME(1641024000<\/span>, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          Output: January 1, 2022, 12:00:00 AM<\/p>\n
            \n
          1. Convert a Unix timestamp to a date format represented in Chinese.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            SELECT<\/span> FROM_UNIXTIME(1641024000<\/span>, '%Y\u5e74%m\u6708%d\u65e5'<\/span>);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
            Output: January 01, 2022<\/p>\n
            It is important to note that the from_unixtime function in MySQL is used for converting integer Unix timestamps. If the input is in string type, it needs to be converted to integer type using the unix_timestamp function before using the from_unixtime function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
