LOCALTIME() function in MySQL

LOCALTIME() function in MySQL is used to check current date and time value. It returns  the value of current date and time in ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS’ format or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.uuuuuu format, depending on whether the function is used in string or numeric context. Syntax :

LOCALTIME
 OR
LOCALTIME()

Parameter : This method does not accept any parameter. Returns : It returns the current date and time value. Example-1 : Getting the current date and time using LOCALTIME Function.

SELECT LOCALTIME as CurrDateTime ;

Output :

2020-10-15 13:33:54

Example-2 : Getting the current date and time using LOCALTIME Function in numeric format.

SELECT LOCALTIME + 0 as CurrDateTime ;

CURRDATETIME
20201015133627

Example-3 : The LOCALTIME function can be used to set value of columns. To demonstrate create a table named DeliveryDetails.

CREATE TABLE DeliveryDetails (
DeliveryId INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
ProductId INT NOT NULL,
ProductName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
Delivered_At TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(DeliveryId)
);

Here, we will use LOCALTIME function when a delivery will be completed. The value in Delivered_At column will be the value given by LOCALTIME Function.

INSERT INTO  
DeliveryDetails(ProductId, ProductName, Delivered_At)
VALUES
(101010101, 'Asus Rog', LOCALTIME);

Now, checking the DeliveryDetails table :

SELECT * FROM DeliveryDetails;

Output :

DELIVERYID	PRODUCTID	PRODUCTNAME	DELIVERED_AT
1	101010101	Asus Rog	2020-10-15 13:42:47
