I haven't tested this, but in the doc for "prepare" it says that you
can use the "!" placeholder to litelarly insert something. So perhaps
something like "now()" could be added there. But you should be able to
create a correct format of the string with a combo of "date" and
"mktime" functions as well, and then just use "?" placeholder.

Ofcourse, if you always insert "now", you could consider if the
"timestamp" column type would do the trick.
