SQL Reference

CURRENT DATE

The CURRENT DATE special register specifies a date that is based on a reading of the time-of-day clock when the SQL statement is executed at the application server. If this special register is used more than once within a single SQL statement, or used with CURRENT TIME or CURRENT TIMESTAMP within a single statement, all values are based on a single clock reading.

Example

Using the PROJECT table, set the project end date (PRENDATE) of the MA2111 project (PROJNO) to the current date.

   UPDATE PROJECT
     SET PRENDATE = CURRENT DATE
     WHERE PROJNO = 'MA2111'
