update a row without affecting timestamp-type column
Hello all, I have a question which just may very well be ridiculous. In one table, we have a column of type timestamp. In normal cases, we want any changes to this row to update this timestamp (hence the nature of this datatype). However, there is one case where we do NOT want the timestamp to update if we make a change to some data in that row. Is there any way to temporarily avoid updating a timestamp type? Thanks for your time. -Ian - 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?
