Hi all
I'm having a problem getting a query to work where I want to compare the
current_timestamp to the logged timestamp, and return false if less than 300
seconds, can you tell me if it is possible to have the current timestamp
returned as part of a query, so as I can then do my calculations in
You can use NOW() to get the current timestamp:
mysql select NOW();
+-+
| NOW() |
+-+
| 2001-10-18 12:49:29 |
+-+
But it would be easier to let MySQL calculate the elapsed time:
select
IF(TIME_TO_SEC(NOW()) -
