I have a column of TimeStamps which looks like this

2012-12-14 22:22:00

2012-12-14 21:55:00

2011-09-21 13:21:00

I would want to create another column OR replace this column which contains the Unix time-stamps of the respective datetime timestamps.

And the question is? You have to use some tool, for example a programming language or database query language and look how to convert date/time values in there... –  arkascha Feb 25 '13 at 10:53
Can I use bash commands to that directly ? –  RaD0 Feb 25 '13 at 10:56
Sure, bash is a programming language in the end. –  arkascha Feb 25 '13 at 11:20
