To add 5 hours in current time, we will use now() function from MySQL. The syntax is as follows −
SELECT date_add(now(),interval some integer value hour);
Now, I am applying the above query to add 5 hours to current time. The query is as follows −
mysql> SELECT date_add(now(),interval 5 hour);
The following is the output
+---------------------------------+ | date_add(now(),interval 5 hour) | +---------------------------------+ | 2018-10-11 15:59:23 | +---------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Look at the output above, it has increased the current time by 5 hours
