Formatting a unix timestamp

Rails
1

I have a database with unix timestamps in it (saved as varchar)…

Right now I’m using the following to format it (item table, created_at
field)…:

Time.at(item.created_at.to_i).strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

I was wondering if it’s the most effective way to do it? Or if there is
a quicker way?

item.create_at.to_formatted_s(:db)

Same can be done with dates.

Best regards
