Using VALUES makes it easier. How do I know what VALUES are available?
I would have never thought that CURRENT TIMESTAMP is a valid call.

sysdummy1 was a forerunner to the VALUES statement. Before you could do

something like
VALUES CURRENT DATE
or
VALUES CURRENT DATE INTO :myvar

you had to do something like
Select CURRENT DATE from sysdummy1
or
select current date into :myvar from sysdummy1

In my mind - it's pretty much deprecated.
