How to get current date time in MySQL

Question

Is there a value or command like DATETIME that I can use in a manual query to insert the current date and time    INSERT INTO servers     server name  online status  exchange  disk space  network shares   VALUES     m1    ONLINE    ONLINE    100GB    ONLINE   DATETIME       The quoted DATETIME value at the end is where I want to add the current date and time

You can use not only now    also current timestamp   and localtimestamp     The main reason of incorrect display timestamp is inserting NOW   with single quotes  It didn t work for me in MySQL Workbench because of this IDE add single quotes for mysql functions and i didn t recognize it at once    Don t use functions with single quotes like in MySQL Workbench  It doesn t work

Use  CURRENT TIMESTAMP   or  now    Like  INSERT INTO servers  server name  online status  exchange  disk space  network shares date time  VALUES  m1   ONLINE   ONLINE   100GB   ONLINE  now       or   INSERT INTO servers  server name  online status  exchange  disk space  network shares date time  VALUES  m1    ONLINE    ONLINE    100GB    ONLINE   CURRENT TIMESTAMP       Replace date time with the column name you want to use to insert the time

The correct answer is SYSDATE    INSERT INTO servers       server name  online status  exchange  disk space      network shares  date time   VALUES        m1    ONLINE    ONLINE    100GB    ONLINE   SYSDATE       We can change this behavior and make NOW   behave in the same way as SYSDATE   by setting sysdate is now command line argument to True  Note that NOW    which has CURRENT TIMESTAMP   as an alias   differs from SYSDATE   in a subtle way   SYSDATE   returns the time at which it executes  This differs from the behavior for NOW    which returns a constant time that indicates the time at which the statement began to execute   Within a stored function or trigger  NOW   returns the time at which the function or triggering statement began to execute    As indicated by Erandi  it is best to create your table with the DEFAULT clause so that the column gets populated automatically with the timestamp when you insert a new row  date time datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT SYSDATE     If you want the current date in epoch format  then you can use UNIX TIMESTAMP    For example  select now 3   sysdate 3   unix timestamp     would yield  ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------    now 3                     sysdate 3                 unix timestamp      ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------    2018-11-27 01 40 08 160   2018-11-27 01 40 08 160         1543282808    ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------   Related   Difference between NOW    SYSDATE    amp  CURRENT DATE   in MySQL

If you make change default value to CURRENT TIMESTAMP it is more effiency   ALTER TABLE servers MODIFY COLUMN network shares datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT TIMESTAMP

In database design  iIhighly recommend using Unixtime for consistency and indexing   search   comparison performance     UNIX TIMESTAMP      One can always convert to human readable formats afterwards  internationalizing as is individually most convenient   FROM  UNIXTIME  unix timestamp   format

Even though there are many accepted answers  I think this way is also possible   Create your  servers  table as following    CREATE TABLE  servers          id int 11  NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY auto increment        server name varchar 45  NOT NULL        online status varchar 45  NOT NULL         exchange varchar 45  NOT NULL         disk space varchar 45  NOT NULL        network shares varchar 45  NOT NULL        date time datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT TIMESTAMP      And your INSERT statement should be    INSERT INTO servers  server name  online status   exchange  disk space  network shares  VALUES  m1    ONLINE    ONLINE    100GB    ONLINE      My Environment   Core i3 Windows Laptop with 4GB RAM  and I did the above example on MySQL Workbench 6 2  Version 6 2 5 0 Build 397 64 Bits
