Unless I missed something, that function doesn't work with unix timestamps.
Is there anythin internal to PG that allows you to convert to and from unix

That's how I did it and it was, indeed, a pain in the butt... But there was
some good that came out of it. When I created the MySQL tables, I didn't
have foreign keys (wasn't using InnoDB), constraints or anything like that
so in recreating the tables, I was able to implement those things to make
life easier down the road when reworking the code and the logic.
