title: How to get Unix timestamp in MySQL from UTC time?
body: <p>If I do <code>unix_timestamp(some_date)</code>, it internally converts <code>some_date</code> to UTC, whereas <code>some_date</code> is already in UTC.  Is there any way to get the current Unix timestamp?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I need Unix timestamp from UTC time.</p>
