SQLite now FunctionSQLite "now" is not actually a fuction, but "now" is a timestring parameter that is used in various SQLite functions to fetch the current date and time. Syntax: There are three types of syntax for now function in SQLite: 
date('now') 
Or 
time('now')
Or 
strftime(format, 'now')
i.e. 
strftime('%Y-%m-%d','now')
strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H-%M','now')
strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S','now')
The third syntax is used when expressing the current date/time using the strftime function. Here "format" can be anyone of the following: 
 Example: Retrieve current date: 
SELECT date('now');
SELECT strftime('%Y-%m-%d','now');
Output:  
 
Example: Retrieve current time: 
SELECT time('now');  (HH-MM-SS Format)
SELECT strftime('%H-%M-%S','now');   (HH-MM-SS Format) 
SELECT strftime('%H-%M-%f','now');  (HH-MM-SS.SSS Format) 
SELECT strftime('%H-%M','now');  (HH-MM Format)
Output:
