Just do this... create table temp ( id int not null primary key auto_increment, data varchar(100), inserted timestamp default 0, lastupdated default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ); And just use
Insert into temp (inserted ) values (NOW()); You're only inserting once, so just do it in the code. Then no need for triggers -- what a waste. Mysql will update the lastupdated field. Note the 'default 0' that is important... When you have multiple timestamp columns and want one to be auto handled.
