[Feature]: Add a Timestamp display mode to editor #4171
Description
Describe the new feature
It would be nice if we have a new "Display Mode" in the database editor. Let him treat the cell value as a UNIX Timestamp and output the corresponding text representation.

The field can have a custom display format.

Yes, sure, I know about the display formats, this function works fine.
I expressed the thought incorrectly. I am referring to the "editing function" that allows the user to enter the date and time in a special field without having to calculate the UTC timestamp in third-party services. A calendar-like input or something like that.

It's not what you're asking for, but the evaluation mode will help you. Choose Evaluation in the mode combobox and then enter:
unixepoch('2025-05-29 14:16:00')Press Apply, and 1748528160 will be inserted in the cell.
