Mike,
Yes your are correct. From the MySQL manual:
A TIMESTAMP column is useful for recording the date and time of
an INSERT or UPDATE operation. By default, the first TIMESTAMP column in
a table is automatically set to the date and time of the most recent
operation if you do not assign it a value yourself. You can also set any
TIMESTAMP column to the current date and time by assigning it a NULL
value. Variations on automatic initialization and update properties are
described in Section 10.3.1.1, "TIMESTAMP Properties"
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/timestamp.html> .
Learning something new everyday!
Many thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Peter

Are you sure "timestamp" is the correct external type? I seem to recall
that timestamp on mysql actually is a last modified stamp? hazy memory,
though.

Importance: High
When I generate SQL this attribute gets the
following SQL generated:
`END_DATE` timestamp NOT NULL default
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
While I can understand the "default
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" why does it add the "on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP"?
Can this behaviour be switched off?
Entity Modeler doesn't generate SQL, it uses EOF. What
version of WO, what database, what plugin?
