Get Current Time in SQL: Quick Guide
In SQL, you can use the following function to retrieve the current time:
- MySQL: Make use of the NOW() function. For instance, running SELECT NOW(); will provide you with the current date and time.
- In SQL Server, use the GETDATE() function. For example, running SELECT GETDATE(); will return the current date and time.
- Oracle: Make use of the SYSDATE keyword. For example, running SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL; will give you the current date and time.
- PostgreSQL: Utilize the keyword CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. For example, running SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP; will provide the current date and time.
Please note that the syntax for retrieving the current time may vary among different SQL database management systems.
