Explanation

In Oracle SQL, SYSDATE is a built-in function that returns the current date and time from the database server's system clock. While 'Date', 'Current Date', and 'System Date' might seem like reasonable names, SYSDATE is the actual Oracle function used to retrieve the current timestamp. This is a standard Oracle SQL function that any developer working with Oracle databases should know.
