以下的文章主要介紹的是MySQL Date函數的實際應用其中包括如何獲取當前時間的具體操作，Unix時間的具體應用，時間前後、時間間隔與時間轉換的實際內容描述，以下就是文章的主要內容。
MySQL Date函數 1、獲取當前時間
MySQL> select current_timestamp();
+---------------------+
| current_timestamp() |
+---------------------+
| 2010-01-18 21:24:37 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select current_date();
+----------------+
| current_date() |
+----------------+
| 2010-01-18 |
+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select current_time();
+----------------+
| current_time() |
+----------------+
| 21:24:46 |
+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL Date函數 2、Unix時間
MySQL> select unix_timestamp();
+------------------+
| unix_timestamp() |
+------------------+
| 1263821184 |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select from_unixtime(1263821182);
+---------------------------+
| from_unixtime(1263821182) |
+---------------------------+
| 2010-01-18 21:26:22 |
+---------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL Date函數3、時間前後
MySQL> select date_add(current_timestamp, interval 1 day);
+---------------------------------------------+
| date_add(current_timestamp, interval 1 day) |
+---------------------------------------------+
| 2010-01-19 21:27:53 |
+---------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select date_add(current_time, interval 1 day);
+----------------------------------------+
| date_add(current_time, interval 1 day) |
+----------------------------------------+
| NULL |
+----------------------------------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select date_add(current_date, interval 1 day);
+----------------------------------------+
| date_add(current_date, interval 1 day) |
+----------------------------------------+
| 2010-01-19 |
+----------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select date_sub(current_timestamp, interval 1 day);
+---------------------------------------------+
| date_sub(current_timestamp, interval 1 day) |
+---------------------------------------------+
| 2010-01-17 21:28:41 |
+---------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select date_sub(current_date, interval 1 day);
+----------------------------------------+
| date_sub(current_date, interval 1 day) |
+----------------------------------------+
| 2010-01-17 |
+----------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select date_sub(current_time, interval 1 day);
+----------------------------------------+
| date_sub(current_time, interval 1 day) |
+----------------------------------------+
| NULL |
+----------------------------------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
MySQL Date函數4、時間間隔
MySQL> select datediff('2010-01-18','2010-01-17');
+-------------------------------------+
| datediff('2010-01-18','2010-01-17') |
+-------------------------------------+
| 1 |
+-------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select timediff('2010-01-18 12:00','2010-01-17 11:00');
+------------------------------------------------- +
| timediff('2010-01-18 12:00','2010-01-17 11:00') |
+------------------------------------------------- +
| 25:00:00 |
+------------------------------------------------- +
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL Date函數5、時間轉換
MySQL> select time_to_sec('25:00:00');
+-------------------------+
| time_to_sec('25:00:00') |
+-------------------------+
| 90000 |
+-------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MySQL> select sec_to_time(90000);
+--------------------+
| sec_to_time(90000) |
+--------------------+
| 25:00:00 |
+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
