-Kim -----Original Message----- From: David Nagel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29. november 2001 21:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Having trouble with UPDATE I'm having a little trouble with an UPDATE statement in MySQL 3.23.39 on Mac OS 10.0. The statement is: UPDATE book SET book_deleted = 'Y' WHERE book_id = '123'; This statement updates the column that I specified and another as well. A timestamp(14) column is changed to today's date as well. Here's what the table looks like: CREATE TABLE `book` ( `book_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `event_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `book_deleted` enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N', `room` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '', `start` timestamp(14) NOT NULL, `end` timestamp(14) NOT NULL, `attendance` int(3) default NULL, `equip` char(1) NOT NULL default 'N', `staff` char(1) NOT NULL default 'N', `catering` char(1) NOT NULL default 'N', `details` char(1) NOT NULL default 'N', PRIMARY KEY (`book_id`), UNIQUE KEY `book_id` (`book_id`), KEY `event_id` (`event_id`) ) TYPE=MyISAM PACK_KEYS=1 After the UPDATE the value of book_deleted is 'Y' and the value of start is changed to now(). Any ideas on why this is happening? -- David Nagel Director of Communications & Information Services U of R Students' Union Regina, SK, S4S 0A2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
