Try using the FROM_UNIXTIME function like this as given in the manual

SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(1196440219);
 -> '2007-11-30 10:30:19'

You could also use formatting like this

mysql> SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(),
    ->                      '%Y %D %M %h:%i:%s %x');
    -> '2007 30th November 10:30:59 2007'
