Additional timestamp columns are not automatically updated. This means you need to insert a value explicitly for the create date as in: insert into mytable values(,create_date) values(, now()); Your create_date column can be a timestamp or datetime column. I prefer datetime because they are formatted properly when doing a select on the table.

Re: easy question
Also, if you initialise a TIMESTAMP field with NULL, MySQL puts the current time into it - for the first such field in the record only. (p109 of Paul DuBois book - sorry, www.mysql.com seems to have gone down so I can't get a documentation URL).

Thank you, but what does MUL stand for? Multiple keys? I suppose it is a key since I created an index on that field. -- Michael __ ||| Michael Collins ||| ||| Kuwago Web Services ||| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ||| Seattle, WA, USA ||| http://www.lassodev.com - 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?
