I have data in the format of both "2013-01-17 18:46:47 -0800" and "1358477089" ...I'm wondering what is the best way to store this in a mysql db, that allows me to select results within a certain month, week, day etc.. using mysql's own functions.
Currently my create table code is like this.. the "timestamp" needs changing.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `votes` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`from` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
`username` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
`address` varchar(16) NOT NULL,
`timestamp` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
