[[sql-functions-datetime]]
=== Date/Time and Interval Functions and Operators
{es-sql} offers a wide range of facilities for performing date/time manipulations.
[[sql-functions-datetime-interval]]
==== Intervals
A common requirement when dealing with date/time in general revolves around
the notion of `interval`, a topic that is worth exploring in the context of {es} and {es-sql}.
{es} has comprehensive support for <<date-math, date math>> both inside <<date-math-index-names, index names>> and <<mapping-date-format, queries>>.
Inside {es-sql} the former is supported as is by passing the expression in the table name, while the latter is supported through the standard SQL `INTERVAL`.
The table below shows the mapping between {es} and {es-sql}:
[cols="^m,^m"]
|==========================
s|{es}
s|{es-sql}
2+h| Index/Table datetime math
2+|<index-{now/M{YYYY.MM}}>
2+h| Query date/time math
| 1y | INTERVAL 1 YEAR
| 2M | INTERVAL 2 MONTH
| 3w | INTERVAL 21 DAY
| 4d | INTERVAL 4 DAY
| 5h | INTERVAL 5 HOUR
| 6m | INTERVAL 6 MINUTE
| 7s | INTERVAL 7 SECOND
|==========================
`INTERVAL` allows either `YEAR` and `MONTH` to be mixed together _or_ `DAY`, `HOUR`, `MINUTE` and `SECOND`.
TIP: {es-sql} accepts also the plural for each time unit (e.g. both `YEAR` and `YEARS` are valid).
Example of the possible combinations below:
[cols="^,^"]
|===
s|Interval
s|Description
| `INTERVAL '1-2' YEAR TO MONTH` | 1 year and 2 months
| `INTERVAL '3 4' DAYS TO HOURS` | 3 days and 4 hours
| `INTERVAL '5 6:12' DAYS TO MINUTES` | 5 days, 6 hours and 12 minutes
| `INTERVAL '3 4:56:01' DAY TO SECOND` | 3 days, 4 hours, 56 minutes and 1 second
| `INTERVAL '2 3:45:01.23456789' DAY TO SECOND` | 2 days, 3 hours, 45 minutes, 1 second and 234567890 nanoseconds
| `INTERVAL '123:45' HOUR TO MINUTES` | 123 hours and 45 minutes
| `INTERVAL '65:43:21.0123' HOUR TO SECONDS` | 65 hours, 43 minutes, 21 seconds and 12300000 nanoseconds
| `INTERVAL '45:01.23' MINUTES TO SECONDS` | 45 minutes, 1 second and 230000000 nanoseconds

==== Functions
Functions that target date/time.
[[sql-functions-current-date]]
==== `CURRENT_DATE/CURDATE`
.Synopsis:
[source, sql]
--------------------------------------------------
CURRENT_DATE
CURRENT_DATE()
CURDATE()
--------------------------------------------------
*Input*: _none_
*Output*: date
.Description:
Returns the date (no time part) when the current query reached the server.
It can be used both as a keyword: `CURRENT_DATE` or as a function with no arguments: `CURRENT_DATE()`.
[NOTE]
Unlike CURRENT_DATE, `CURDATE()` can only be used as a function with no arguments and not as a keyword.
This method always returns the same value for its every occurrence within the same query.

.Synopsis:
[source, sql]
--------------------------------------------------
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(precision <1>)
--------------------------------------------------
*Input*:
<1> fractional digits; optional
*Output*: date/time
.Description:
Returns the date/time when the current query reached the server.
As a function, `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()` accepts _precision_ as an optional
parameter for rounding the second fractional digits (nanoseconds). The default _precision_ is 3,
meaning a milliseconds precision current date/time will be returned.
This method always returns the same value for its every occurrence within the same query.
