I've created a table that contains a column called "recordLastModified" and that column uses "timestamp" as the data type. Is there a way in MySQL to automatically update timestamp fields as records are modified? I want it to be nearly automatic in the same way that using "auto_increment" increases int data types, since that is faster than remembering to type numbers each time you add a new record. If not, how can I structure my insert or update statements to automatically capture the server's sytem time into the timestamp field, or am I required to manually include the date/time when I update a record?
