Sometimes you want to communicate with mySQL or other databases using
the unix timestamp. To solve this difference you may want to convert your
TDateTime to the unix timestamp format and vice versa.
Um den in einigen Datenbanken verwendeten Unix Timestamp für die Kommunikation
mit Delphi nutzbar zu machen, kann man mit dieser Unit das TDateTime Format
in den Unix Timestamp und umgekehrt umwandeln.

const // Sets UnixStartDate to TDateTime of 01/01/1970 UnixStartDate: TDateTime = 25569.0;
function DateTimeToUnix(ConvDate: TDateTime): Longint; begin //example: DateTimeToUnix(now); Result := Round((ConvDate - UnixStartDate) * 86400); end;
function UnixToDateTime(USec: Longint): TDateTime; begin //Example: UnixToDateTime(1003187418); Result := (Usec / 86400) + UnixStartDate; end;
