Problem with connecting Node.js with MySQL - mysql

Question

I am currently working on c9 IDE and when I run the code below, it gives me errors. How do I get around this Issue?
app.js
var mysql = require("mysql");
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host: 'localhost',
user: 'poream3387',
database: 'join_us'
});
var q = 'SELECT CURTIME() as time, CURDATE as date, NOW() as now';
connection.query(q, function (error, results, fields) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log(results);
});
connection.end();
command:
node app.js
error:
/home/ubuntu/workspace/node_modules/mysql/lib/protocol/Parser.js:80
throw err; // Rethrow non-MySQL errors
^
Error: ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR: Unknown column 'CURDATE' in 'field list'

I think, the issue is with not making CURDATE a function call by adding parenthesis, which is the same thing pointed out by #Jamie D
