[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-5026) Add function to transform timestamp into Unix time

Jan Stastny created TEIID-5026: ---------------------------------- Summary: Add function to transform timestamp into Unix time Key: TEIID-5026 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-5026 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Query Engine Reporter: Jan Stastny Assignee: Steven Hawkins Teiid supports function FROM_UNIXTIME as a result of TEIID-248. There isn't its reverse counterpart though. This is an issue, when there is a data source which doesn't support timestamp/date/time data types: * users choose to use long(unix time) in the source * by using FROM_UNIXTIME function they transform the long value (unix time) into respective data type value in their virtual model * they can read such source. * they can't insert/update it as this would require 'INSTEAD OF TRIGGER' with ability to transform timestamp/time/date back to long value - Unix time. This part is missing. As an example could serve [MySQL's UNIX_TIMESTAMP|https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-func...] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
