CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in milliseconds

Question

Is there any way to get milliseconds out of a timestamp in MySql or PostgreSql (or others just out of curiosity)?

SELECT CURRENT_TI         


        

Answer 1

To get the Unix timestamp in seconds in MySQL:

select UNIX_TIMESTAMP();

Not tested PostgreSQL, but according to this site it should work: http://www.raditha.com/postgres/timestamp.php

select round( date_part( 'epoch', now() ) );
