<h1 class="topictitle1">Specify current date and time values</h1>
|
||
|
<div><p>You can specify a current date, time, or timestamp in an expression
|
||
|
by specifying one of three special registers: CURRENT DATE, CURRENT TIME,
|
||
|
or CURRENT TIMESTAMP.</p>
|
||
|
<div class="section"><p>The value of each is based on a time-of-day clock reading obtained
|
||
|
during the running of the statement. Multiple references to CURRENT DATE,
|
||
|
CURRENT TIME, or CURRENT TIMESTAMP within the same SQL statement use the same
|
||
|
value. The following statement returns the age (in years) of each employee
|
||
|
in the EMPLOYEE table when the statement is run:</p>
|
||
|
<pre> <strong>SELECT YEAR</strong>(<strong>CURRENT DATE</strong> - BIRTHDATE)
|
||
|
<strong>FROM</strong> CORPDATA.EMPLOYEE</pre>
|
||
|
</div>
|
||
|
<div class="section"><p>The CURRENT TIMEZONE special register allows a local time to be
|
||
|
converted to Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). For example, if you have a
|
||
|
table named DATETIME, containing a time column type with a name of STARTT,
|
||
|
and you want to convert STARTT to UTC, you can use the following statement:</p>
|
||
|
<pre> <strong>SELECT</strong> STARTT - <strong>CURRENT TIMEZONE</strong>
|
||
|
<strong>FROM</strong> DATETIME</pre>
