+
+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.
