Can we use current_date() for table with column timestamp default in MySQL?

Use the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP instead of current_date() in MySQL for timestamp default current_date. Let us first create a table. Following is the query −

mysql> create table defaultCurrent_DateDemo    -> (    -> StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,    -> StudentName varchar(20),    -> StudentAdmissionDate timestamp default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP    -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.55 sec)

Following is the query to insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into defaultCurrent_DateDemo(StudentName) values('Larry'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.52 sec) mysql> insert into defaultCurrent_DateDemo(StudentName,StudentAdmissionDate) values('Chris','2019-01-31'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)

Following is the query to display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from defaultCurrent_DateDemo;

This will produce the following output −

+-----------+-------------+----------------------+ | StudentId | StudentName | StudentAdmissionDate | +-----------+-------------+----------------------+ | 1         | Larry       | 2019-04-02 19:38:19 | | 2         | Chris       | 2019-01-31 00:00:00 | +-----------+-------------+----------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
