Hello,

I need a function that converts date_to_unixtime.
I found a good select example in the post #4 by Mark Schrijver:
http://jehiah.cz/archive/oracle-date-to-unix-timestamp

I modified it a little and tried to make a function out of this
select. There is an error in the function, I can not figure it out.
Please help.

<pre>
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CURRENT_UNIXTIME_UTC_SEC RETURN number IS
xt number;
BEGIN
SELECT d * (24*60*60) + h * (60*60) + (m * 60) + s as unix_time
FROM (
SELECT to_number(rtrim(substr(dt, 2, instr(dt, ' ')-1))) d,
to_number(substr(dt, instr(dt, ' ')+1, 2)) h,
to_number(substr(dt, instr(dt, ':')+1, 2)) m,
to_number(substr(dt, instr(dt, '.')-2, 2)) s,
dt
FROM ( SELECT to_char(dt) dt
FROM (
SELECT (
sys_extract_utc(current_timestamp) -
TO_TIMESTAMP('01.01.1970','DD.MM.YYYY')) dt FROM dual
))) INTO xt;
RETURN xt;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
raise_application_error(-20777,'An error encountered - '||
SQLCODE||' ERROR: '||SQLERRM);
END;
</pre>

Thank you!

Thank you :-)
Just fixed it. INTO was in a wrong place.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CURRENT_UNIXTIME_UTC_SEC RETURN number IS
xt number;
BEGIN
SELECT (d * (24*60*60) + h * (60*60) + (m * 60) + s) as unix_time
into xt
FROM (
SELECT to_number(rtrim(substr(dt, 2, instr(dt, ' ')-1))) d,
to_number(substr(dt, instr(dt, ' ')+1, 2)) h,
to_number(substr(dt, instr(dt, ':')+1, 2)) m,
to_number(substr(dt, instr(dt, '.')-2, 2)) s,
dt
FROM ( SELECT to_char(dt) dt
FROM (
SELECT (
sys_extract_utc(current_timestamp) -
TO_TIMESTAMP('01.01.1970','DD.MM.YYYY')) dt FROM dual
)));
RETURN xt;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
raise_application_error(-20777,'An error encountered - '||

END;
