CURDATE()

Function Description

The CURDATE() function returns the value in the YYY-MM-DD format of the current date.

Note

Unlike MySQL behavior: curdate()+int represents the total number of days from the current date to 1970-01-01 plus int (days). For example, curdate()+1 means the current date minus 1970-01-01 plus 1 day.
