RE: Insert default Date
You can use TIMESTAMP field for this. It's automatically assigned current date if you don't insert anything in this field type or insert null. -Original Message- From: Arthur [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 7:56 AM To: MYSQL Subject: Insert default Date Hello MYSQL, In access Now() as table field default sets the field when a new record is created.

Re: Insert default Date
TIMESTAMP does what you want, but if you for any reason wish to update records (mass updates) at the mysql prompt without updating the TIMESTAMP, you'd be out of luck. For databases where I know that mass updates to data files will be required, and I want to preserve the user's LAST_MODIFIED (TIMESTAMP) field, I use DATETIME field type rather than TIMESTAMP. -Jim Victoria Reznichenko wrote: Arthur, Tuesday, October 15, 2002, 2:56:13 PM, you wrote: A In access Now() as table field default sets the field when a new A record is created.
