![]() Hence, any changes in the Cloud are instantly reflected in your administration tool in real-time as long as you’re connected to the service.Ĭloud Storage has come under fire recently after numerous high profile security breaches. Storing them in one place allows you to synchronize across all of a team members’ devices. Navicat Cloud was specifically designed for storing your connection settings, queries, models, and virtual group information as well as sharing them with team members. ![]() ![]() It, along with all of Navicat’s database admin apps, incorporates Navicat Cloud, which offers a central space for DBA team members to collaborate on sharable components including connection settings, queries, and models. In today’s article, we’ll explore some of the possibilities offered by the Cloud using the latest version of Navicat’s desktop MySQL administrator: Navicat for MySQL. In that article, we were introduced to the Navicat Cloud and accompanying iOS app. In the Manage your MySQL Data on the Go with Navicat Cloud and iOS article, we saw how mobile apps can connect to the Cloud so that DBAs can perform administrative tasks wherever they may be. When you think of Cloud services for database administration, Database as a Service (DBaaS) is what tends to comes to mind, but one of the ways that the Cloud has had an enormous impact on our work productivity is in the area of collaboration. It’s getting harder and harder to find people who don’t depend on the Cloud for its many services, including software as a service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), and of course, data management and storage. ![]() In this age of uninterrupted connectivity, the Cloud holds massive appeal to everyone from grandmothers to multi-national corporations. It sounds rather mystical, but in truth, it’s really just a physical infrastructure of many computers housed in massive warehouses located all over the world. In the next installment, we'll cover some other ways to create dates and times in MySQL.The Cloud: it’s a relatively new way of describing something that’s been around for a while. In this blog, we explored some of MySQL's many date/time-oriented functions. The MAKEDATE() function returns a date given a year and dayofyear. For now, let's look at one way to create a Date. In MySQL, there are many ways to create a datetime from separate date and time parts, enough to garner their own article. Time portions also get their own function: HOUR(), MINUTE(), and SECOND() respectively: Constructing a Datetime From Separate Parts To split a date into its constituent parts, we can use the YEAR(), MONTH(), and DAYOFMONTH() (or DAY()) functions: Having trouble remembering all of the part units? That's OK, because MySQL provides separate functions for date and time parsing a well.įor parsing either the date or time from a datetime value, there are the DATE() and TIME() functions, respectively: Similar to the SQL Server function, EXTRACT() accepts a part unit and the date:īeing February at the time of this writing, the following call to EXTRACT() yields a value of "2":Īs the following query shows, it is currently 43 minutes past the hour: Additional Date Parsing Functions MySQL provides the equivalent EXTRACT() function for this purpose. SQL Server offers the versatile DATEPART() function to extract part of a datetime. These all give the latest time in HH:MM:SS format: Parsing Out Individual Date Parts Likewise, we can get the current time in MySQL using the curtime() or current_time() functions, as well as the current_time system variable. In any event, all three give latest date in YYYY-MM-DD format: Getting the Current Time Only The system variable current_date also works. If you only want to get current date in MySQL, you can use either the curdate() or current_date() functions. Here's its output: Getting the Current Date Without the Time To obtain the current date and time as a TIMESTAMP, we can use the current_timestamp() function. In Navicat for MySQL 16, we can invoke this function without connecting to a database, since we aren't selecting any table columns:Īs mentioned in Part2, the TIMESTAMP type is similar to DATETIME, but are generally used to track changes to records. MySQL's equivalent function is simply called NOW(). It offers the GETDATE() function for that purpose. Getting the Current Date and Timeīack in May of 2021, we covered some of SQL Server's notable Date & Time functions, starting with how to obtain the current date and time. Now it's time to turn our attention to some of MySQL's many date/time-oriented functions. In the first two installments of this series on Dates and Times, we covered MySQL's five temporal data types.
