NOW vs CURRENT_DATE

[dforum <dforums@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello every body,

I just discover a big not only big huge difference between NOW() and 
CURRENT_DATE.

Did you already know about it and do you know why ?

DELETE FROM blacklist where bl_date < (NOW() - interval '2 DAY');

DELETE FROM blacklist where bl_date < (CURRENT_DATE - interval '2 DAY');
on 6 000 000 of records
