To query the current time and date in MySQL, you can use the built-in functions NOW() or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(). Here are two ways to do it.

Using the NOW() function:

SELECT NOW();

2. Utilizing the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() function:

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP();

Both of these functions will return the current date and time. You can choose either one according to your preference to query the current time and date.
