What's the equivalent of php time() in mssql?

For example if I execute the code below under my Windows 7-I have PHP running under windows 7/IIS.

echo time() I will get this 1304972050

How can I get the same result in MSS开发者_如何学PythonQL?

SELECT DATEDIFF(ss, '1/1/1970 05:00:00', GETUTCDATE())

Should do.

UPDATED per comment.

To get the epoch time in sql:

SELECT DATEDIFF(s,'19700101 05:00:00:000',GETUTCDATE())

You don't get this out of the box, but you can find functions defined on sql server forums, eg. http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=66858.
