If you want integer i e  number of days   SELECT  EXTRACT epoch FROM  SELECT  NOW   -  2014-08-02 08 10 56     86400   int

select floor  date part  epoch   order time -  2016-09-05 00 00 00     3600    count    from od a week group by floor  date part  epoch   order time -  2016-09-05 00 00 00     3600      The   int conversion follows the principle of rounding  If you want a different result such as rounding down  you can use the corresponding math function such as floor

To get the number of days the easiest way would be   SELECT EXTRACT DAY FROM NOW   -  2014-08-02 08 10 56      As far as I know it would return the same as   SELECT  EXTRACT epoch FROM  SELECT  NOW   -  2014-08-02 08 10 56     86400   int

select date  now    - date  1955-12-15     Here is the simple query which calculates total no of days

If you convert table field    Define the field so it contains seconds    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test                 field        INTERVAL SECOND 0       Extract the value  Remember to cast to int other wise you can get an unpleasant surprise once the intervals are big   EXTRACT EPOCH FROM field   int
