# Functions for Working with Dates and Times {#functions-for-working-with-dates-and-times}
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
Support for time zones
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
All functions for working with the date and time that have a logical use for the time zone can accept a second optional time zone argument. Example: Asia/Yekaterinburg. In this case, they use the specified time zone instead of the local (default) one.

## toWeek(date\[,mode\]) {#toweekdatemode}
This function returns the week number for date or datetime. The two-argument form of toWeek() enables you to specify whether the week starts on Sunday or Monday and whether the return value should be in the range from 0 to 53 or from 1 to 53. If the mode argument is omitted, the default mode is 0.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
`toISOWeek()`is a compatibility function that is equivalent to `toWeek(date,3)`.

The following table describes how the mode argument works.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
| Mode | First day of week | Range | Week 1 is the first week … |
|------|-------------------|-------|-------------------------------|
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
| 0 | Sunday | 0-53 | with a Sunday in this year |
| 1 | Monday | 0-53 | with 4 or more days this year |
| 2 | Sunday | 1-53 | with a Sunday in this year |
| 3 | Monday | 1-53 | with 4 or more days this year |
| 4 | Sunday | 0-53 | with 4 or more days this year |
| 5 | Monday | 0-53 | with a Monday in this year |
| 6 | Sunday | 1-53 | with 4 or more days this year |
| 7 | Monday | 1-53 | with a Monday in this year |
| 8 | Sunday | 1-53 | contains January 1 |
| 9 | Monday | 1-53 | contains January 1 |
2019-06-09 15:19:15 +00:00
For mode values with a meaning of “with 4 or more days this year,” weeks are numbered according to ISO 8601:1988:
- If the week containing January 1 has 4 or more days in the new year, it is week 1.
2019-06-09 15:19:15 +00:00
- Otherwise, it is the last week of the previous year, and the next week is week 1.
2019-06-09 15:19:15 +00:00
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
For mode values with a meaning of “contains January 1”, the week contains January 1 is week 1. It doesnt matter how many days in the new year the week contained, even if it contained only one day.

## FROM_UNIXTIME
When there is only single argument of integer type, it act in the same way as `toDateTime` and return [DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md).
