you can get the current time by using,

>> curr_time = datetime('now')

curr_time = 

    datetime

     2017-11-20

yes i know this function , but my problem is comparing curr_time with many times inserted into the table.

Let's say you store all your "inserted times" in a variable,

dt = {'2017-11-19'; '2017-11-21'}; %dummy variable, you can replace it with yours
dt = datetime(dt);

now get the current time

dt_now = datetime('now');

now let's check which dates are in the past,

d_compare = dt<dt_now

d_compare =

    2×1 logical array

     1
     0

meaning the first element is (19-11-2017) is in the past.
