SQL NOW() Example
We have the following "Products" table:
| Prod_Id | ProductName | Unit | UnitPrice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jarlsberg | 1000 g | 10.45 |
| 2 | Mascarpone | 1000 g | 32.56 |
| 3 | Gorgonzola | 1000 g | 15.67 |
Now we want to display the products and prices per today's date.
We use the following SELECT statement:
SELECT ProductName, UnitPrice, Now() as PerDate FROM Products
The result-set will look like this:
| ProductName | UnitPrice | PerDate |
|---|---|---|
| Jarlsberg | 10.45 | 10/7/2008 11:25:02 AM |
| Mascarpone | 32.56 | 10/7/2008 11:25:02 AM |
| Gorgonzola | 15.67 | 10/7/2008 11:25:02 AM |
