SQL Date Function CURTIME()

The CURTIME() function is a built-in date function in SQL that returns the current time in the format HH:MM:SS. It does not take any arguments and is available in most SQL database systems, including MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.

Here's an example of how to use the CURTIME() function in a SQL query:

SELECT CURTIME();

This query will return the current time in the format HH:MM:SS, like this:

18:45:32

You can also use the CURTIME() function in a WHERE clause to filter records based on the current time, like this:

SELECT *
FROM my_table
WHERE time_column < CURTIME();

This query will return all records from my_table where the value in the time_column is less than the current time.
