Date And Unix Timestamp Comparison
i have a field in my database called 'release' that contains a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, except its stored as text and not in the date format.

I need to exclude certain results from my query based on how recent it was released and im having a hard time.

ive been trying to use this...

SELECT title FROM products
WHERE release< FROM_UNIXTIME(unix_timestamp(now()) - 183*86400,'%Y-%m-%d') ;

Can't Insert A Unix Timestamp Into Mysql
Just upgraded to 4.1.8 and when I create a field with a date value (field is trdate), it always has default of 0000-00-00. And when I insert values with unix timestamp values (which I prefer, and they come from php's strtotime function),the record does not insert properly. I tried to set, through phpmyadmin, unix/current timestamp and to no avail.

If I use a strtotime php function to convert a date into a timestamp, what is the proven way to make sure that value is saved during inserts? I am on the mysql manual, searched this board, but nothing works.

View The Timestamp In MySQL As The UNIX By Adding 0 To The End Of The Row

Inserting Current Unix Timestamp
I am working on coding a query to generate a phpBB useraccount in the mySQL database.

INSERT INTO kylebt_Forums.phpbb_users SET `username` = '%username%', `user_password`=MD5('%password%'), `user_email`='%email%', `user_regdate`=''

The user_regdate field is giving me problems as far as accepting the 10-digit unix_timestamp();

Apparently phpBB reads the PHP command time() however I am not sure how I need to implement this in the above code to have the timestamp show up correctly in the mySQL table. Currently, the user_regdate is showing up as the default value of '0'

Unix Date Problems
1) I was investigating the unix_timestamp routine in mysql (version
3.23.46-nt) and for some reason the unix epoch (1-1-1970) was returned
with a value of -3600. Then, as you can see, it suddenly corrected
itself. I can't replicate this error, but it caused me to shudder.
Attached is the output from the command line client.
2) The function from_unixtime(n) wraps on my server after 2^31 seconds.
e.g. select from_unixtime(2147483648) returns "1900-01-00 00:00:00". I
suspect this is caused by the underlying time_t size that mysql was
compiled with. Is this so? Are any versions of mysql compiled with a
larger time_t?

+---------------------------+
| from_unixtime(2147483648) |
+---------------------------+
| 1900-01-00 00:00:00 |

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Date Vs Timestamp
I have a somewhat large table (about 900,000 rows). I regularly need to run many queries against this table and it's is rather slow. Before making any major changes, I wanted to confirm whether the following changes would help.

Right now, I run a query like this:

SELECT count(*) FROM refer WHERE date >= '$date1' AND date <= '$date2'

However, "date" is actually of type timestamp. So I have an index on the field, but it has the same cardinality as the number of rows, as you might expect. I've also heard using a reserved word of 'date' can be a problem, but not sure if that's a performance issue.

I think I may occasionally still need this level of granularity for some things, but 99% of the time, I really only need the actual date for my SELECT statements. I'm thinking it might be best to create a field2 that is of type date and use that for the queries, with an index, and drop the index on field1 altogether.

The more I think about the more I'm convinced the way I'm doing it now is the reason it is so slow. Can someone please confirm my stupidity?

Timestamp :: Registration Date
As a newbie to MySQL and PHP, I have been able to set up MySQL as test server on my MacOS X and have also succeeded in connecting my test sites registration form to the proper table in MySQL.
Everything works fine except getting MySQL to insert the registration date/time automatically as a new record is posted. I have created two "Timestamp"-date columns - the first one for "Change date" and the second for "Registration date". According to what I can gather from reading, this should do the trick, but it doesn't. No date or time is inserted in the registration date field.
Can someone explain (in newbie terms) what I am doing wrong and what I should do to make it work? I want the registration date to be filled-in automatically in every new record and then stay unchanged even if other parts of the record are changed.

- when the record is modified the t_update will change, but not the t_create

UPDATE Changes Unreferenced TIMESTAMP Column

I insert a couple of values:

>> 2, 2007-08-31 10:10:11
>> 3, 2007-08-31 10:10:12

Then I change the STATUS field with an UPDATE query, even the TIMESTAMP column changest to current_timestamp.

UPDATE demo SET status="hello" WHERE id=2;
>> 1, 2007-08-31 10:10:10
>> 2, 2007-08-31 09:06:45, hello
>> 3, 2007-08-31 10:10:12

I don't understand this behaviour. I havent references the TIMESTAMP column and hence expect it to be unmodified. Can it be that the TIMESTAMP has a DEFAULT_VALUE specification?

Probably not, because if I inser another column (DEFVAL INT DEFAULT 5) that colum does not change when updateing the STATUS field - only the TIMESTAMP does.
