Hi, I have a table with a time stamp column defined as ts timestamp(14) NOT NULL
this is the first timestamp value in a series of timestamp columns. Whenever I update a row in the table ts gets updated with the current timestamp. I read from the documentaion that the first timestamp column in a create statement with neither DEFAULT nor ON UPDATE clauses is the same as DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. To solve the problem I try to alter the table with the following command: ALTER TABLE `test` CHANGE `ts` `ts` TIMESTAMP( 14 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()' but whenever I update a row after running the command above ts still gets updated. Any ideas how I can restrict mysql to not update the ts value on update. BTW, Iam testing this on 3.23 but it has the same effect on 4.1 as well Regards, Danish -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
