What Is Difference Between TIME and CURRENT

TIME is a Teradata extension that returns a FLOAT data type, while CURRENT_TIME is an ANSI standard that returns a TIME(0) WITH TIME ZONE data type. TIME lacks intelligence and will error if an addition or subtraction causes the time to exceed 59 seconds or minutes to exceed 59, whereas CURRENT_TIME handles overflow correctly.

What is difference between TIME and CURRENT_TIME?

First difference is that TIME is a teradata extension and


CURRENT_TIME is a ANSi standard.

Second difference is that data type returned by the TIME function is
a FLOAT.
However CURRENT_TIME or CURRENT_TIME(0) returns type TIME(0)
WITH TIME ZONE.

The TIME function lacks intelligence.
Which means SELECT TIME + 40; would give an error if current time is
23:24:34 because 34+40 seconds would lead to 74 seconds which is not
valid
