Problem: The first timestamp column in a table is set to current date-time value as soon as we update one or more columns in the table. Example: The guest information is stored in a table named GUEST. The schema for it is as below. create table guest (guestID int, arrivalDate timestamp, departureDate timestamp, status char(1)); Above table is populated using following queries. insert into guest values (1, '2002-09-30', '2002-10-14', 'Y'); insert into guest values (2, '2002-09-20', '2002-10-01', 'Y'); insert into guest values (3, '2002-09-15', '2002-09-25', 'Y'); insert into guest values (4, '2002-09-12', '2002-09-20', 'Y'); If we use following query to update the status from Y to N, then arrivalDate column is set to CURRENT(system) date-time value. update guest set status = 'N'; Does anybody have any information on this issue? Thanx in advance.
