Hey Vijay,

The function sys.epoch converts an epoch value to a timestamp.

sql>SELECT epoch(1456741924);
+----------------------------+
| epoch_single_value         |
+============================+
| 2016-02-29 10:32:04.000000 |
+----------------------------+

1 tuple (1.184ms)

Hope that helps,

Mark

Yes, I have come across this solution, Robin. 

But my problem involves converting epoch (a bigint value) into Date or Timestamp

I went through the Temporal functions page and a few questions in the user thread in the past, but am unable to find a solution till now. 

Any help much appreciated. 



Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

There might be a way of constructing a timestamp in MonetDB from an epoch, but I can not think of one. Regarding the reference that you gave to unix_timestamp (generating date or times from strings): we have something similar in MonetDB, some examples:

SELECT str_to_date('23-09-1987', '%d-%m-%Y') AS "date",
 str_to_time('11:40', '%H:%M') AS "time",
 str_to_timestamp('23-09-1987 11:40', '%d-%m-%Y %H:%M') AS "timestamp";

+------------+----------+----------------------------+
| date       | time     | timestamp                  |
+============+==========+============================+
| 1987-09-23 | 11:40:00 | 1987-09-23 11:40:00.000000 |
+------------+----------+----------------------------+

Hi, 
I am looking for an Epoch (bigint) to date/timestamp converter in MonetDB - something similar to unix_timestamp() in MySQL. 
I referred this page - https://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/SQLreference/Temporal and tried out a few functions, but it seems to work only with the existing Timestamp columns. 
Am I missing something here? 
I am using MonetDB Jan2014 release on a Mac OS-X.
Any help much appreciated.
