And return data like:

Answer 1

Can create a procedure also to create calendar table with timestmap different from day. If you want a table for each quarter

e.g.

2019-01-22 08:45:00
2019-01-22 09:00:00
2019-01-22 09:15:00
2019-01-22 09:30:00
2019-01-22 09:45:00
2019-01-22 10:00:00

you can use

CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `generate_calendar_table`()
BEGIN

select unix_timestamp('2014-01-01 00:00:00') into @startts;
select unix_timestamp('2025-01-01 00:00:00') into @endts;

if ( @startts < @endts ) then

    DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS calendar_table_tmp;

    CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE calendar_table_tmp (ts int, dt datetime); 

    WHILE ( @startts < @endts)
        DO 
        SET @startts = @startts + 900;
        INSERT calendar_table_tmp VALUES (@startts, from_unixtime(@startts));
    END WHILE;

END if;

END

and then manipulate through

select ts, dt from calendar_table_tmp;

that give you also ts

'1548143100', '2019-01-22 08:45:00'
'1548144000', '2019-01-22 09:00:00'
'1548144900', '2019-01-22 09:15:00'
'1548145800', '2019-01-22 09:30:00'
'1548146700', '2019-01-22 09:45:00'
'1548147600', '2019-01-22 10:00:00'

from here you can start to add other information such as

select ts, dt, weekday(dt) as wd from calendar_table_tmp;

or create a real table with create table statement
