R: how to get the timestamp from remote mysql
When you are using SQL connected to the server (mysql -ublah) the timestamp is the server one. If you use app time functions it will be client time. Bottom line: use server sql functions.

While that can be confusing sometimes, overall it's a much simpler way of working that storing local times.

Re: how to get the timestamp from remote mysql
Assuming that synchornizing the clocks between the systems is beyond your control you could try getting the UTC timestamp from both systems, then adjust your date/time math according to the difference between them. select unix_timestamp(utc_timestamp()); It is more than a little hacky, but it will work - michael dykman On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 2:48 AM, Nathan Huangnathan.vorbei.t...@gmail.com wrote: Hi guys I am going to fetch out the data from remote mysql database according to timestamps colmmen, however my local date is different from the one on remote mysql database, how can I get right timestamp using the date of remote time zone? that is to say I set the date and send itto remote server or database to calculate timestamps of it thanks in advance nathan -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=mdyk...@gmail.com -- - michael dykman - mdyk...@gmail.com - All models are wrong.
