I have a timestamp in seconds since the epoch, how do I get it back into a
human-readable date?
ie - to_date('$secs_since_epoch', 'yyyymmdd') ?

To get sysdate converted in seconds since 01-JAN-1970 try this:
select (SYSDATE - TO_DATE('01011970000000' , 'ddmmyyyyhh24miss')) * 86400 AS
epoch_date
FROM dual

I have dates in the database as "seconds since epoch"..
I need to select items where start_time >= epoch(sysdate - 7);
How do I get the sysdate converting to epoch easily within the sql code?
