title: MySQL Query to delete rows whose timestamp is older than current timestamp
body: <p>I am looking for a query that is able to delete all rows from a table in a database where timestamp is older than the current date/time or current timestamp.</p>
  
  <p>Would really appreciate some help out here urgently!</p>
  
  <p>Here's the query I am using but as I thought it ain't working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>delete from events where timestamp&lt;CURRENT_TIMESTAMP{);
  </code></pre>
