How to insert current date/ time using now() in a field with MySQL?
In MySQL, now() can be used to insert current date/time. The syntax is as follows −

mysql> create table CurrentDateTimeDemo −> ( −> YourTime datetime −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.58 sec)
Inserting current date/time using now(). The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into CurrentDateTimeDemo values(now()); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)

mysql> select *from CurrentDateTimeDemo;
