What is the format for generating the numbers in the database field for entry time stamps?

For instance what would "1123069245" translate to in real time?

Hi!

Those are called "UNIX Timestamps",you can look up the definition in wikipedia for example. It's the number of seconds that passed by since Januar 1st 1970.
