MySQL CURDATE() Function Guide

CURDATE() is a date function in MySQL that returns the current date without the time portion. It outputs a date value in the format YYYY-MM-DD, representing the local time.

By using the CURDATE() function, you can easily retrieve the current date and combine it with other date functions and operators, such as calculating date differences, filtering data within specific date ranges, and more.

Here is an example using the CURDATE() function:

SELECT CURDATE();

After executing the above SQL statement, MySQL will return the current date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. This is very useful for tasks that involve handling dates, such as recording creation dates or querying data within specific date ranges.
