If you run the select "SELECT NOW() + 10000*RAND();" a few times, you'll see that not all values are valid timestamps, e.g.:
mysql> SELECT NOW() + 10000*RAND(); +----------------------+ | NOW() + 10000*RAND() | +----------------------+ | 20050713112881 | +----------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) If you're trying to add seconds onto a timestamp, you're probably looking for something like: SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) + 10000*RAND()); > -----Original Message----- > From: Antonio Gulli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 8:31 AM > To: mysql@lists.mysql.com > Subject: Timestamp problem. > > I have the following part in a schema > > describe feeds > ......... > ........ > | pubdate | timestamp | YES | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP > | | > > show create table feeds; > > `pubdate` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, > > when i make an > > INSERT INTO feeds(...., pubdate) VALUES (....,NOW()+10000*RAND()) > > is there any chance to have: > > mysql> select count(*) from feeds where pubdate = 0; > +----------+ > | count(*) | > +----------+ > | 593923 | > +----------+ > 1 row in set (5.90 sec) > > mysql> select count(*) from feeds where pubdate > 0; > +----------+ > | count(*) | > +----------+ > | 287532 | > +----------+ > 1 row in set (5.33 sec) > > > > > > > -- > Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. > Don't lose faith. > > > -- > MySQL General Mailing List > For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql > To unsubscribe: > http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
