We shouldnt have to answer this question, its basic mysql and can be found in the manual. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html — Grumpy, May 06 '22 at 09:08

How about CURDATE()?

SELECT CURDATE()

(Note: this is listed as MySQL in the webpage. Unsure what vendor/version of SQL you're running.)

This MySQL select should return the date without the time.

SELECT CURRENT_DATE();

enjoy :)

I think this might also work

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),111)

You could use the LEFT() function:

SELECT LEFT(NOW(), 10);

Here's a little demo:

mysql> SELECT LEFT(NOW(), 10);
+-----------------+
| LEFT(NOW(), 10) |
+-----------------+
| 2012-05-14      |
+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

DATE(NOW())

is what I use - it just keeps the date portion

You can also create a date format and use NOW().

| date_int | date         | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
mysql> UPDATE borderaux SET date_int = NOW();

+------------+
| date_int   |
+------------+
| 2013-07-15 |
+------------+
