There is a very easy method to convert Unix TimeStamp to DateTime. Let us learn that in today’s blog post.
Here is a very simple example of it.
Unix TimeStamp
DECLARE @UnixDate BIGINT = 1392349571299 SELECT CAST(DATEADD(ms, CAST(RIGHT(@UnixDate,3) AS SMALLINT), DATEADD(s, @UnixDate / 1000, '1970-01-01')) AS DATETIME2(3))
When you run the script above it will display the result as 2014-02-14 03:46:11.300
Yes, that’s it. It is that simple to convert Unix TimeStamp to Datetime.

Simple, but wrong. The 299 miliseconds are converted to 300.
This is the correct conversion
SELECT DATEADD(SECOND, @UnixDate / 1000, DATETIME2FROMPARTS(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, @UnixDate % 1000, 3));
And to overcome the INT problem, use this
DECLARE @UnixDate BIGINT = 4592349571299;
SELECT DATEADD(MILLISECOND, @UnixDate % 86400000, DATEADD(DAY,@UnixDate / 86400000, CAST(‘19700101 00:00:00.000’ AS DATETIME2(3))));
