It accepts unit, interval, datetime. It returns modified datetime. A typical example: SELECT TIMESTAMPADD(DAY, 30, NOW()); -- 30 days from now SELECT TIMESTAMPADD(MONTH, -3, NOW()); -- 3 months ago A close relative is NOW(), which returns the current date and time as a timestamp. A close relative is CURDATE(), which returns the current date without time. A close relative is DATE(), which extracts the date part from a datetime expression.
