I have tried to create a MySQL table with the following lines: $query[] = "CREATE TABLE member ( ID bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, userName varchar(40) NOT NULL, . . .
RecordCreationTime TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', LastLogin TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT 'now()', RecordTouchTime TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT 'now()', )"; No matter what I set the defualt values to, I get the timestamp value in the first timestamp field and zeros in all after the first one. The above give the following result: RecordCreationTime: 20020224233339 LastLogin: 00000000000000 RecordTouchTime: 00000000000000 I had to currently use a separate insert statement after the table creation and it works fine... but the default doesn't seem to work with timestamp... yet no matter what I do, I always get the current timestamp if I don't update the first timestamp field. $query[] = "CREATE TABLE member ( ID bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, userName varchar(40) NOT NULL, . . . RecordCreationTime TIMESTAMP, LastLogin TIMESTAMP, RecordTouchTime TIMESTAMP, )"; This STILL update the first TIMESTAMP field as a defualt when updating another column... but only the first TIMESTAMP field. I've had to put a dummy field as TIMESTAMP as the first one... the rest are fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
