1. MySQL 獲得當前時間戳函式：current_timestamp, current_timestamp()
   mysql> select current_timestamp, current_timestamp();

+———————+———————+
| current_timestamp | current_timestamp() |
+———————+———————+
| 2008-08-09 23:22:24 | 2008-08-09 23:22:24 |

1. MySQL （Unix 時間戳、日期）轉換函式：
   unix_timestamp(),
   unix_timestamp(date),
   from_unixtime(unix_timestamp),
   from_unixtime(unix_timestamp,format)

下面是示例：
select unix_timestamp(); – 1218290027
select unix_timestamp(‘2008-08-08’); – 1218124800
select unix_timestamp(‘2008-08-08 12:30:00’); – 1218169800

select from_unixtime(1218290027); – ‘2008-08-09 21:53:47’
select from_unixtime(1218124800); – ‘2008-08-08 00:00:00’
select from_unixtime(1218169800); – ‘2008-08-08 12:30:00’

select from_unixtime(1218169800, ‘%Y %D %M %h:%i:%s %x’); – ‘2008 8th August 12:30:00 2008’

1. MySQL 時間戳（timestamp）轉換、增、減函式：
   timestamp(date) – date to timestamp
   timestamp(dt,time) – dt + time
   timestampadd(unit,interval,datetime_expr) –
   timestampdiff(unit,datetime_expr1,datetime_expr2) –

請看示例部分：
select timestamp(‘2008-08-08’); – 2008-08-08 00:00:00
select timestamp(‘2008-08-08 08:00:00’, ‘01:01:01’); – 2008-08-08 09:01:01
select timestamp(‘2008-08-08 08:00:00’, ‘10 01:01:01’); – 2008-08-18 09:01:01

select timestampadd(day, 1, ‘2008-08-08 08:00:00’); – 2008-08-09 08:00:00
select date_add(‘2008-08-08 08:00:00’, interval 1 day); – 2008-08-09 08:00:00

MySQL timestampadd() 函式類似於 date_add()。
select timestampdiff(year,’2002-05-01’,’2001-01-01’); – -1
select timestampdiff(day ,’2002-05-01’,’2001-01-01’); – -485
select timestampdiff(hour,’2008-08-08 12:00:00’,’2008-08-08 00:00:00’); – -12

select datediff(‘2008-08-08 12:00:00’, ‘2008-08-01 00:00:00’); – 7

MySQL timestampdiff() 函式就比 datediff() 功能強多了，datediff() 只能計算兩個日期（date）之間相差的天數。
