CURRENT_TIME and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
----------------------------------
Function:
Returns current server system time or date+time values.
Syntax rules:
CURRENT_TIME [(<seconds precision>)]
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP [(<seconds precision>)]
Type:
TIME, TIMESTAMP
Scope:
DSQL, PSQL
Example(s):
1. SELECT CURRENT_TIME FROM RDB$DATABASE;
2. SELECT CURRENT_TIME(3) FROM RDB$DATABASE;
3. SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3) FROM RDB$DATABASE;
Note(s):
1. The maximum possible precision is 3 which means accuracy of 1/1000 second
(one millisecond). This accuracy may be improved in the future versions.
2. If no seconds precision is specified, the following values are implicit:
- 0 for CURRENT_TIME
- 3 for CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
