is it possible to do without trigger?

i google and found this link:
http://sql-info.de/mysql/examples/CREATE-TABLE-examples.html

but when i tried to combine two examples into one CREATE statement and it didn't work.

any idea?

is there a way to create this table that accomplishes these two goals?

thanks,

Triggers are a fine idea, but I would use a trigger for both cases..
no point putting that level of housekeeping on the application when
you can set rules in the database and more or less forget about it.

The first insert should work with now() and you can leave lastupdateted
empty

Hi list,

i tried to create a table with inserted & lastupdated timestamp fields:

create table temp (
id int not null primary ke auto_increment,
data varchar(100),
inserted timestamp default now(),
lastupdated timestamp(8));


how do i get mysql to put in the current timestamp for inserted &
lastupdated fields when i insert a record and only lastupdated when i
update the record?

thanks,
T. Hiep
