The CURRENT DATE special register specifies a date that is based on a reading of the time-of-day clock when the SQL statement is executed at the current server. If this special register is used more than once within a single SQL statement, or used with CURRENT TIME, CURRENT TIMESTAMP, or the CURDATE, CURTIME, or NOW scalar functions within a single statement; all values are based on a single clock reading.26
Using the PROJECT table, set the project end date (PRENDATE) of the MA2111 project (PROJNO) to the current date.
UPDATE PROJECT SET PRENDATE = CURRENT DATE WHERE PROJNO = 'MA2111'
