Answer 1

select concat(
    format(floor(s / @day),0),
    'days ',
    time_format(sec_to_time(s % @day),'%Hh:%im:%ss') 
  ) formatted_date
from (select 1015557 s) t, (select @day = 3600 * 24);

produces:

+--------------------+

You can use a query like this:

SELECT
  DATE_FORMAT(date('1970-12-31 23:59:59')
   + interval 1015557 second,'%j days %Hh:%im:%ss') as result;

sample

mysql>     SELECT
    ->       DATE_FORMAT(date('1970-12-31 23:59:59')
    ->        + interval 1015557 second,'%j days %Hh:%im:%ss') as result;
+----------------------+
| result               |
+----------------------+
| 011 days 18h:05m:57s |
+----------------------+
1 row in set (0,00 sec)

Hello @Bernd, i thank you a lot for this solution. But i found an error with this value: 81865. I get: 365 days 22h:44m:25s - I think that this is an error. Do you have an idea? Here the fiddle: sqlfiddle.com/#!9/9eecb/89478 – Sculpturesque

Answer 3

You can try this out:

SET @seconds = 1015557;
SELECT CONCAT(
            FLOOR(TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(@seconds), '%H') / 24), 'days ',
            MOD(TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(@seconds), '%H'), 24), 'h:',
            TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(@seconds), '%im:%ss')
        )
AS Result

Result should be:

11days 18h:05m:57s

Hopefully this helps!.

SELECT *, 
CONCAT( FLOOR(sec/3600),"hour ", FLOOR(MOD(sec,3600)/60),"min",MOD(sec,60),"sec")

Hi, please edit your answer to put the code preferably in a Stack Snippet. – Autodidact

Please take a few minutes to read How to Answer to get some useful tips on answering questions. Esp. the part "fuller explanations are better". Also, you need a very good reason to answer an old, well answered question. Without any explanation in that direction answers like this tend to get deleted in the review process. – Baugher

This does not include "days". – Brierwood

Sorry, I just edited it – Momentum

Answer 5

If one is interested in fraction of seconds, the following combines the responses from Kent Aguilar and Steven Yang.

SELECT CONCAT(
  FLOOR(TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(@seconds), '%H') / 24), 'days ',
  MOD(TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(@seconds), '%H'), 24), 'h:',
  FLOOR(MOD(@seconds,3600)/60), 'm:',
  MOD(@seconds,60), 's'
) AS Result
