EPOCH
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Extract the EPOCH value from a datetime value, i.e. the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
The EPOCH function is a short version of the EXTRACT, passing a DatePart.EPOCH value as an argument.
SELECT epoch(TIMESTAMP '1970-01-01 00:00:15');
create.select(epoch(Timestamp.valueOf("1970-01-01 00:00:15"))).fetch();
The result being
+-------+ | epoch | +-------+ | 15 | +-------+
