Hi there,

I'm using MaxSQL 3.23.39 and have set up an innodb table but when I run an 
update statement the timestamp field does not update automatically.  Is 
anyone else experiencing this, or is it an expected behaviour of innodb 
tables?  I couldn't find anything in the manual saying that this was 
different for innodb tables.  Below is an example of what I did and the 
results.

running on Red Hat linux 6.1.

cheers,

noel
