0	EPOC time is the number of seconds since 1970 Jan 1.... so use: select dateadd( SECOND, 1354320000, '1970-1-1' ) permanent link answered 07 Dec '12, 15:01 Mark Culp 24.8k●9●139●295 accept rate: 41% edited 07 Dec '12, 15:02 flat view

Mark your answer has the extra ".000000"

I think this is what I need to do, right?

--CONVERT FROM EPOCH TO DATETIME:

SELECT DATEFORMAT(dateadd(SS,CONVERT(INT, 1354320000), CAST('1970-01-01 00:00:00' as datetime) ), 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss') as myDateTime;

---CONVERT FROM DATETIME TO EPOCH GMT+0:

SELECT CAST(datediff(ss, 'Jan 01 1970', '2012-12-01 00:00:00' ) AS CHAR) as myEpochDate;
