MySQL CURDATE() Function



Definition and Usage

CURDATE() returns the current date.

Syntax


Example

Here is a SELECT statement:

The result is shown below:

NOW() CURDATE() CURTIME()
2008-11-11 12:45:34 2008-11-11 12:45:34

Example

The following SQL creates an "Orders" table with a datetime column (OrderDate):

Note that the OrderDate column is specified with CURDATE() as the default value. As a result, when you insert rows into the table, the current date and time are automatically inserted into the column.

Now, we want to insert a record into the "Orders" table:

The "Orders" table will look like this:

OrderId ProductName OrderDate
1 Jarlsberg Cheese 2008-11-11
