It can be used directly without any parameters. For example:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\">SELECT&nbsp;SYSDATE&nbsp;FROM&nbsp;DUAL;<\/pre>\n<p>This will return a result containing the current system date and time. The SYSDATE function can be used to compare dates and times. For example:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\">SELECT&nbsp;*&nbsp;FROM&nbsp;employees&nbsp;WHERE&nbsp;hire_date&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;SYSDATE-365;<\/pre>\n<p>This will return all records from the employee table that have an employment date later than one year ago.
