CURDATE()

Description

The CURDATE() function returns the current date as a value in YYYY-MM-DD format, depending on whether the function is used in string or numeric context.

Note

The difference from MySQL's behavior is: curdate()+int returns the number of days from 1970-01-01. For example, curdate()+1 means the current date minus 1970-01-01 plus 1 day.
