A full list of these data structures is virtually impossible to derive, but there are well-known data structures that have the Unix time problem: File systems that use 32 bits to represent times in inodes; Databases with 32-bit time fields; Database query languages (such as SQL) that have UNIX_TIMESTAMP()-like commands
Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...
Unix time [a] is a date and time representation widely used in computing. It measures time by the number of non-leap seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, the Unix epoch. For example, at midnight on January 1 2010, Unix time was 1262304000. Unix time originated as the system time of Unix operating systems.
And UNIX_TIMESTAMP() in particular is documented to return an unsigned int. Current theory is that MEDIAN() can't deal with large numbers (see resultset 4; dividing by numbers smaller than ten gets me 100 million again), which is boggling. No, a cast or operation on the result of MEDIAN() is what fixes it. Still boggling. Cleaner query. Thanks ...
A distinction is sometimes made between the terms datestamp, timestamp and date-timestamp: Datestamp or DS: A date, for example 2024-12-27 according to ISO 8601; Timestamp or TS: A time of day, for example 14:02:07 using 24-hour clock; Date-timestamp or DTS: Date and time, for example 2024-12-27, 14:02:07
System time is measured by a system clock, which is typically implemented as a simple count of the number of ticks that have transpired since some arbitrary starting date, called the epoch. For example, Unix and POSIX -compliant systems encode system time (" Unix time ") as the number of seconds elapsed since the start of the Unix epoch at 1 ...
TIMESTAMP: This is a DATE and a TIME put together in one variable (e.g. 2011-05-03 15:51:36.123456). TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE: the same as TIMESTAMP, but including details about the time zone in question. The SQL function EXTRACT can be used for extracting
In a popular Unix shell Bash, time is a special keyword, that can be put before a pipeline (or single command), that measures time of entire pipeline, not just a singular (first) command, and uses a different default format, and puts empty line before reporting times:
