Welcome to SQL standards world. Current_date and current_time are set
at the beginning of a transaction. The older values 'today' and 'now'
move forward with the clock. However, that behavior makes it very
difficult to write serializable transactions. For what you're doing,
declaring a timestamp column and assigning 'now' to it is probably
the best choice.
