My hosting company has a utility which allows me to dump the tables of a MySQL database in csv format for Excel. However, I can't figure out how to translate the numbers in date/time fields. Can anyone help?

MySQL Date/Time Format?
- Thread starter clarkmurray
- Start date
- Status
Date fields are yearmonth day in a string like 20050530.
Time should be hour:minute:second like 084654. The hour I believe is 24h time.
mysql TIMESTAMP (not a unix timestamp!) are these two concatenated together.
20050530084654
The above example is May 30, 2005 @ 8:46:54 am.

Thanks, but I finally figured out what I was looking at was a Unix timestamp.
so use the FROM_UNIXTIME function, and nest it inside the DATE_FORMAT function
