UTC_TIME() function in MySQL is used to check current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time value. It returns the UTC time value in ‘HH:MM:SS’ or HHMMSS format, depending on whether the function is used in string or numeric context.
Syntax :
UTC_TIME
OR
UTC_TIME()
Parameter :
This method does not accept any parameter.
Returns :
It returns the current UTC time value.
Example-1 :
Getting the current UTC time using UTC_TIME Function.
SELECT UTC_TIME as CurrUtcTime ;
Output :
Example-2 :
Getting the current UTC time using UTC_TIME Function in numeric format.
SELECT UTC_TIME + 0 as CurrUtcTime ;
Output :
Example-3 :
The UTC_TIME function can be used to set value of columns. To demonstrate create a table named DeliveryDetails.
CREATE TABLE DeliveryDetails (
DeliveryId INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
ProductId INT NOT NULL,
ProductName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
Delivered_On DATE NOT NULL,
Delivered_At TIME NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(DeliveryId)
);
Here, we will use UTC_DATE and UTC_TIME function when a delivery will be completed. The value in Delivered_On column will be the value given by UTC_DATE Function and the value in Delivered_At column will be the value given by UTC_TIME Function.
INSERT INTO
DeliveryDetails(ProductId, ProductName, Delivered_On, Delivered_At)
VALUES
(900000001, 'Lenovo Legion', UTC_DATE, UTC_TIME);
Now, checking the DeliveryDetails table :
SELECT * FROM DeliveryDetails;
Output :
DeliveryId |
ProductId |
ProductName |
Delivered_On |
Delivered_At |
1 |
900000001 |
Lenovo Legion |
