SQL Reference

CURRENT TIME

The CURRENT TIME special register

specifies a time that is based on a reading of the time-of-day clock when the SQL statement is executed at the application server. If this special register is used more than once within a single SQL statement, or used with CURRENT DATE or CURRENT TIMESTAMP within a single statement, all values are based on a single clock reading.

In a federated system, CURRENT TIME can be used in a query intended for data sources. When the query is processed, the time returned will be obtained from the CURRENT TIME register at the federated server, not from the data sources.

Example

Using the CL_SCHED table, select all the classes (CLASS_CODE) that start (STARTING) later today. Today's classes have a value of 3 in the DAY column.

  SELECT CLASS_CODE FROM CL_SCHED
    WHERE STARTING > CURRENT TIME  AND DAY = 3
