Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable821(AdmissionDate datetime); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.24 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable821 values('2019-01-21'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable821 values('2018-11-02'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable821 values('2016-12-31'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.30 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable821 values('2015-03-19'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable821;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------------+ | AdmissionDate | +---------------------+ | 2019-01-21 00:00:00 | | 2018-11-02 00:00:00 | | 2016-12-31 00:00:00 | | 2015-03-19 00:00:00 | +---------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to set current date in the DateTime field −
mysql> update DemoTable821 set AdmissionDate=CURDATE(); Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.74 sec) Rows matched: 4 Changed: 4 Warnings: 0
Let us check table records once again −
mysql> select *from DemoTable821;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------------+ | AdmissionDate | +---------------------+ | 2019-08-03 00:00:00 | | 2019-08-03 00:00:00 | | 2019-08-03 00:00:00 | | 2019-08-03 00:00:00 | +---------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
