Trouble with UNIX TimeStamps

Hi Guys,

I'm new to PostGreSQL functions, in particular the date/time functions. I'm
porting my application away from MySQL

The query I'm having trouble converting a mySQL query that looks like this:

SELECT count(*) AS total,
DAYNAME(FROM_UNIXTIME(ticket_starters.ticket_time_start)) AS day FROM
ticket_queues
LEFT JOIN ticket_techs ON ticket_techs.queue_id = ticket_queues.queue_id
LEFT JOIN ticket_starters ON ticket_starters.queue_id =
ticket_techs.queue_id
WHERE
AND ticket_starters.ticket_time_start > '".(time()-(60*60*24*365))."'
GROUP BY day, total

The table column, ticket_starters.ticket_time_start is an INT type which
contains a UNIX timestamp. I did not see anywhere in the Interactive docs
how'd I convert the UNIX timestamp into a timestamp type so I can extract
the day name. I'd rather not use PostGreSQL's timestamp types and just
convert the database over to it since much of the programming utilizes the
UNIX timestamp. Any ideas?
