Date conversion problem

[bedlam]

I have a date stored in an INT column of 2440588
This is supposed to be the date of 01/01/1970.
I can not find any way to convert the 2440588 value to a MM/DD/YYYY format, no matter what I try. Maybe I need another set of eyes.
Anyone able to help?

Thanks
TK

I think you mean this is a Unix timestamp,
and the value is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970.
There is no direct SQL function to do this, but the standard way is to use DATEDIFF() or DATEADD()

SELECT DATEADD(SS,2440588,'01/01/1970')

Gives 1970-01-29 with a time

Figured it out. The stored integer 2440588 does represent the date 01/01/1970, if you use the Julian date (JDN actually) for the number of days since Jan 1, 4713 BC...yep...BC.

Thanks for the reply.
