there is a way to convert a string of characters to SS datetime:

convert(datetime, '20050131')

Unixtime is the number of seconds elapsed since the unix epoch (jan 1, 1970).

you can convert unixtime to Sql server time with the following code:


DECLARE @utc INT
SET @utc= 1107216000  -- todays date in unix time/utc
SELECT DATEADD(dd, (@utc/86400), '1/1/1970')

-ec
