You can use

select from_unixtime(1300464000,"%Y-%m-%d %h %i %s") from table;

Overall, there are two pertinent methods

  1. from_unixtime()
  2. unix_timestamp()

DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(`orderdate`), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') as "Date" FROM `orders`

This is the ultimate solution if the given date is in encoded format like 1300464000

Use the FROM_UNIXTIME() function in MySQL

Remember that if you are using a framework that stores it in milliseconds (for example Java's timestamp) you have to divide by 1000 to obtain the right Unix time in seconds.

To answer Janus Troelsen comment

Use UNIX_TIMESTAMP instead of TIMESTAMP

SELECT from_unixtime( UNIX_TIMESTAMP(  "2011-12-01 22:01:23.048" ) )

The TIMESTAMP function returns a Date or a DateTime and not a timestamp, while UNIX_TIMESTAMP returns a unix timestamp
