Scott,
Try:
${A||dbvis-date||||Where}$
${B||dbvis-date||||Where format=[yyyyMMdd]}$
Without the format attribute it is the settings in Tool Properties / Data Formats that are used.
In addition these are also supported:
dbvis-time
dbvis-timestamp

This did not work.
Scott,
dbvis-date is replaced with the actual value during execute and in the SQL Preview window.
Note also that is is a literal so you will probably need to quote the variable in your SQL.

Roger
I see what you're saying. That won't do for my use-case, unfortunately. I would prefer the parameter value be dynamically loaded.
Thanks anyway.
Hi Scott,
Not sure if this is what you're after, but if you do not want to be prompted for a value you can use the noshow option:
${A||dbvis-date||||noshow}$
Variable options are described here:

No, I want to be prompted for a value, but I want a default value in the entry field.
Hi Scott,
Okay, but then I don't understand why using dbvis-date as Roger suggested doesn't work for you? If you leave it as dbvis-date, it will be replaced by today's date during execution; if you enter another date value, it will used. Please explain what the problem with this is.
Best Regards,
Hans
I don't know how to be more clear. I just want it to look like this:
And then tomorrow it would have 2016-12-08 and so on...
If it pops up and says "dbvis-date" in the field, it will confuse my users immensely.
Scott,
Got it :-)
We'll look into it.

Roger
Scott,
Just to inform you that DbVisualizer 9.5.6 has just been released with support for:
${Date||now||Date}$ > 2012-01-01
${Time||now||Time}$ > 12:12:12
${Timestamp||now||Timestamp}$ > 2012-01-01 12:12:12
Easiest is that you open Help->Check for Update in DbVisualizer to perform the upgrade.
An alternative is that you download from our web site: http://www.dbvis.com/download/

I'm using this in a WHERE clause to prompt a user for the date:
${StartDate||||Date||Where}$
Is it possible to default this to TODAY?
