Converting UNC/Unix/Oracle Time to readable date field.

by  mrdenny  Posted    (Edited  )
Here is a code sample to show how to convert UNC or Unix Time to a format readable by people. Take the UNC time value, in this case 1101859200. Devide that number by 86100. Take that value and add it to Jan 1, 1970.
Code: 
declare @UnixTime bigint
set @UnixTime = 1101859200

select dateadd(dd, (@UnixTime/86400), '1/1/1970')
This gives us the resule of 1/12/2004.

If you need to get the time as well this code will do the trick.
Code: 
declare @UnixTime bigint
set @UnixTime = 1101859754

select dateadd(ss, ((convert(numeric(24,6), @UnixTime)/86400)-(@UnixTime/86400))*86400, dateadd(dd, (@UnixTime/86400), '1/1/1970'))
