[sql] PostgreSQL: how to convert from Unix epoch to date?

The statement gives me the date and time.

How could I modify the statement so that it returns only the date (and not the time)?

SELECT to_timestamp( TRUNC( CAST( epoch_ms AS bigint ) / 1000 ) );

This question is related to sql postgresql date type-conversion epoch

The answer is


On Postgres 10:

SELECT to_timestamp(CAST(epoch_ms as bigint)/1000)


select to_timestamp(cast(epoch_ms/1000 as bigint))::date

worked for me


The solution above not working for the latest version on PostgreSQL. I found this way to convert epoch time being stored in number and int column type is on PostgreSQL 13:

SELECT TIMESTAMP 'epoch' + (<table>.field::int) * INTERVAL '1 second' as started_on from <table>;
