Have you looked at the manual?
Datetime special registers: The datetime registers are named CURRENT DATE, CURRENT TIME, and CURRENT TIMESTAMP. Datetime special registers are stored in an internal format. When two or more of these registers are implicitly or explicitly specified in a single SQL statement, they represent the same point in time. A datetime special register is implicitly specified when it is used to provide the default value of a datetime column.

Something like Expression1 I'd think......
