import module namespace datetime = "http://www.zorba-xquery.com/modules/datetime";

This module provides functions to retrieve the current dateTime. In contrast to the current-dateTime functions specified in "XQuery Functions and Operators" the functions in this module are nondeterministic. That is, they do not return the current-dateTime from the dynamic context but return the actual value.

current-date

declare %ann:nondeterministic function datetime:current-date (
 ) as xs:date external

Return the current date value. Please note, that this function is not stable. It returns the dat value of the date the function has been actually invoked.

• the non-stable date value

current-dateTime

declare %ann:nondeterministic function datetime:current-dateTime (
 ) as xs:dateTime external

Return the current dateTime value. Please note, that this function is not stable. It returns the dateTime value of the date and time the function has actually been invoked.

• the non-stable datetime value

current-time

declare %ann:nondeterministic function datetime:current-time (
 ) as xs:time external

Return the current time value. Please note, that this function is not stable. It returns the time value of the date and time the function has actually been invoked.

• the non-stable time value

timestamp

declare %ann:nondeterministic function datetime:timestamp (
 ) as xs:long external

Return the the number of milliseconds since the Epoch.

• the said number of milliseconds.
