What is the difference between SYSTIMESTAMP and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. As both of the below queries return the same result, what would be the difference?.

select systimestamp from dual;

select current_timestamp from dual;

Hi Shake,

Here are the differences,

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP give session timestamp/date.
SYSTIMESTAMP and SYSDATE give databse date.

Would like to know if you have any queries.

Regards.
