Prafulla, please check documentation http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/DATETIME.html "... The TIMESTAMP column type provides a type that you can use to automatically mark INSERT or UPDATE operations with the current date and time. If you have multiple TIMESTAMP columns, only the first one is updated automatically. ..." You need to change type of fields from timestamp to datetime.

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.
