public final class DateTime extends AbstractExpression
Expression represents a date or time. It supports the following identifiers:
CURRENT_DATE: This function returns the value of current date on the database server.
CURRENT_TIME: This function returns the value of current time on the database server.
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP: This function returns the value of current timestamp on the database server.
functions_returning_datetime ::= CURRENT_DATE | CURRENT_TIME | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
The JDBC escape syntax may be used for the specification of date, time, and timestamp literals.

Expression by the given visitor.visitor - The visitor to visit this objectpublic void acceptChildren(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
Expression. This method can be used to optimize traversing
the children since a new list is not created every time Expression.children() or Expression.getChildren() is called.
This does not traverse the Expression sub-hierarchy, use an subclass of
AbstractTraverseChildrenVisitor in order to traverse the entire sub-hierarchy.
