How to insert a date in SQL?

In the context of SQL, the answer for how to insert date in SQL is that you can insert the date while adding a new book to the inventory by using the GETDATE() function. Here is the example given by using SQL syntax:-

INSERT INTO Books (BookTitle, Author, DateAdded)

VALUES (‘Book Title’, ‘Author Name’, GETDATE());

This above query would help you insert a new row into the “Book” table in which you would get the book’s title, author, and current date and time. You can also change the “Book Title” and “Author Name” according to your actual title and author of the book being added.

The GETDATE () function can retrieve the current system of date and time in the server if SQL. However, if you are using a different Database such as MYSQL or PostgreSQL then they might have different functions such as NOW() in MySQL. This ensures that you achieve the precise date and time in the inventory of the library which aids you in tracking and management.
