MySQL - CURRENT_TIME() Function
In a local system, the time is usually calculated from the epoch ('1970-01-01 00:00:00') UTC time. To store time in a MySQL database, we can use the DATETIME, TIME and TIMESTAMP temporal datatypes. And MySQL provides functions to perform different operations, like extracting time and date, converting time from one time zone to another, etc. on such data.
One such function is the MySQL CURRENT_TIME() function. It is a synonym for CURTIME() function.
MySQL CURRENT_TIME() Function
The MySQL CURRENT_TIME() function is used to retrieve the current time of the local system. The resultant value is a string or a numerical value based on the context and, the time returned will be in the 'hh:mm:ss' or hhmmss format.
You can also use CURRENT_TIME instead of CURRENT_TIME() to retrieve the time local to the system.
Syntax
Following is the syntax of the above function −
CURRENT_TIME();
Parameters
This method does not accept any parameters.
Return value
This function returns the current time as a TIME data type in the format 'HH:MM:SS', representing hours, minutes, and seconds.
Example
Following example demonstrates the usage of the CURRENT_TIME() function −
SELECT CURRENT_TIME();
Output
Following output is obtained −
CURRENT_TIME() |
---|
20:53:49 |
Example
Following is an example of this function in numerical context −
SELECT CURRENT_TIME() +0;
Output
Following output is obtained −
CURRENT_TIME() +0 |
---|
205404 |
Example
You can add seconds to the current time as shown below −
SELECT CURRENT_TIME()+12;
Output
Following output is obtained −
CURRENT_TIME()+12 |
---|
205432 |
Example
We can also subtract the desired number of seconds from the current time using this function −
SELECT CURRENT_TIME()-22213;
Output
Following output is obtained −
CURRENT_TIME()-22213 |
---|
183388 |
Example
You can use CURRENT_TIME instead of CURRENT_TIME() to retrieve the current time.
SELECT CURRENT_TIME;
Following output is obtained −
CURRENT_TIME |
---|
20:57:46 |
In Numeric Context −
SELECT CURRENT_TIME+0;
Following output is obtained −
CURRENT_TIME+0 |
---|
205759 |
Example
Let us create a table with name ORDERS in MySQL database using CREATE TABLE statement as follows −
CREATE TABLE ORDERS ( OID INT NOT NULL, DATE VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL, CUSTOMER_ID INT NOT NULL, AMOUNT DECIMAL (18, 2) );
Now, we will insert the records in ORDERS table using INSERT statements −
INSERT INTO ORDERS VALUES (102, '2009-10-08 00:00:00', 3, 3000.00), (100, '2009-10-08 00:00:00', 3, 1500.00), (101, '2009-11-20 00:00:00', 2, 1560.00), (103, '2008-05-20 00:00:00', 4, 2060.00);
Following query is used to calculate the difference in −
SELECT OID, DATE, TIMEDIFF(CURRENT_TIME(), DATE), AMOUNT FROM ORDERS;
CURRENT_TIME −
Following query calculates and displays the remaining number of days and time for the subscription to complete −
SELECT OID, DATE, TIMEDIFF(CURRENT_TIME, DATE), AMOUNT FROM ORDERS;
Output
The output is displayed as follows −
OID | DATE | DATEDIFF(CURDATE(), DATE) | AMOUNT |
---|---|---|---|
102 | 2009-10-08 00:00:00 | NULL | 3000.00 |
100 | 2009-10-08 00:00:00 | NULL | 1500.00 |
101 | 2009-11-20 00:00:00 | NULL | 1560.00 |
103 | 2008-05-20 00:00:00 | NULL | 2060.00 |
