vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Help importing WordPress tables into vB tables?

AFemaleProdigy · #5 01-08-2012, 07:02 AM

After much research and trial and error, I find myself a bit frustrated. I am on the right path, but can't get the queries quite right. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I know I need to convert the database field type DATETIME to UNIXTIME. I figured out how to display the whole field in UNIXTIME with the query below, but it does not permanently convert or save it.

Code:

SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`post_date`) FROM `wp_posts`

I also tried this (total experiment... don't laugh

) with no luck...

Code:

ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` CHANGE `post_date` `post_date_old` int(11) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` ADD `post_date` UNIXTIME NOT NULL
UPDATE `wp_posts` SET `post_date`=FROM_DATETIME(post_date_old)
