QueryBuilder with postgreSQL and timestamp.

Hi All,

We're using postgreSQL with our project with column type of "timestamp without time zone". When executing query it gives us string with UTC. Is there any way we can convert this value to unix timestamp while executing query?

You can implement the afterFetch() method in a model, this event will be executed just after create the instance and assign the data to it. Something like this:

    public function beforeSave()
    {
        $this->timestamp = date("Y-m-d H:s:i", $this->timestamp);
    }

    public function afterFetch()
    {
        $this->timestamp = strtotime($this->timestamp);
    }

    public function afterSave()
    {
        $this->timestamp = strtotime($this->timestamp);
    }
