MySQL Current Date Guide: CURDATE() Function

You can use the built-in CURDATE() function in MySQL to get the current date. Here is a simple example:

SELECT CURDATE();

The above SQL query will return the format of the current date as (YYYY-MM-DD) as the result.

You can also specify different date formats by using the DATE_FORMAT() function, such as:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE(), '%Y-%m-%d');

This query will return the current date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. You can choose a different date format based on your own needs.
