TIMESTAMP :: Creation And Update Date
I want to create an auto creation date and update date in my mysql table. I am using the "MySQL Cookbook" approach, using the TIMESTAMP field which basically is:
- create 2 new fields in the table (t_create and t_update)
- both NULL
- when a new record is created they both will register a common timestamp
- when the record is modified the t_update will change, but not the t_create

Set Date Creation
like to set the creation date of a table or the entry of new data with an old date. Ex: I want that a table results created on 10th December 2000. Or data wrote in table results old, wrote like 1 month ago. I think I can do that by using the TIMESTAMP or something like this statement.

Update And Timestamp
mysql 4.1 UPDATE `table` SET `col1` = 'smth1', `col2` = 'smth2' WHERE `col3` ='smth3'; There is a TIMESTAMP field I want to preserve. Last update command turns all dates to 'NOW'. What do I have to add to keep original TIMESTAMP?

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?

Auto Update Timestamp
Here is my example: I have 3 fields. Field 1 is a unix timestamp which is 0000-00-00 00:00:00 by default. Field 2 is a number integer which is 30 by default Field 3 is a unix timestamp which is a random date by default When Field 1 is populated or updated, I would like to add the value in Field 2 (30) as days to recreate Field 3 with a timestamp equal to Field 1, plus 30 days (or whatever is listed in Field 2)

Timestamp - To Update When The Row Is Updated.
i would like to have a table with ( among other things ) a time stamp column that holds the time that the row was created. this seemed easy enough by just executing ALTER TABLE mytable ADD stampcolumn timestamp; but the problem with this is that the time stamp updates for a given row any time that row is updated. I would like to have a timestamp that just stays at its inital value of the row insertion time. is this possible? how?

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.

UPDATE Changes Unreferenced TIMESTAMP Column
I have a table demo defined like this: >>create table DEMO (ID BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY , TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP, STATUS VARCHAR(10)); I insert a couple of values: >> 1, 2007-08-31 10:10:10 >> 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.

Remove ON UPDATE For TIMESTAMP Column
I've got a table with a timestamp column that has ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. I realise what I actually wanted was DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP since most of the time I don't want an update to change the timestamp (only an insert). I can't figure out how I'm supposed to remove the ON UPDATE clause of the column.

DATE / TIMESTAMP Default Values
im is having problems with auto inserting date in my table. I dont know what is the default value i will set if column type to DATE. It was succesful though if is use the TIMESTAMP type in the column and is using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the dafault value. mysql automatically inserts the current date and time to the database everytime a new record is inserted. The problem with using TIMESTAMP is that i only want the date and not the additional time. Is there a default value I can use for the DATE function instead of using TIMESTAMP? I already tried NOW(), CURDATE(), CURRENT_DATE() to no avail

Error #1293: There Can Be Only One TIMESTAMP Column With CURRENT_TIMESTAMP In DEFAULT Or ON UPDATE Clause
I am using MySQL 4.0/4.1 version. And I am trying to add two timestamp columns to a single table. The columns are insert_date and updat_date to capture the date/time the record was initially inserted as well as the date/time the record was last updated respectively. When I try to set one column (insert_date) with a default value of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and the other column (updat_date) with ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, I end up getting the following error: #1293 - Incorrect table definition; there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause Is there any way around this problem?

UPDATE Date Of DATETIME
I have a datetime column. And for some random row of data, I want to change the date (but not the time) of the datetime column. How do I do this? before: datetime = 2006/04/03 12:30:25 if I do: UPDATE table SET DATE(datetime)='20060404' where id=whatever; I get this: datetime = 2006/04/04 00:00:00 I also tried: UPDATE table SET DATE(datetime)='20060404'+TIME(datetime) where id=whatever; but that seems to take the time and add it to the date instead of concatenate it or something. Anyways, my point is, I'm trying to update the date and only the date for a datetime value without adjusting the time. I know there is some simple way to do this but I'm far from a MYSQL syntax expert.

Update A Date Using A SUM(field)
I have been asked to come up with a way of updating a date field, so that it subtracts the total number of days. If there was only one record to add to the field then it would be a simple case of DATE_SUB(m1.date_joined, INTERVAL p1.qual_days DAY) but unfortunately, there can be more than one record in the second table, so I need something like DATE_SUB(m1.date_joined, INTERVAL SUM(p1.qualdays) DAY) but it won't work, even after I add in a GROUP BY statement at the end of the query, I get an error using GROUP BY. I have now resorted to creating a temp table to dump all the calculations in there and then doing an update using the values but I'm trying to find out if there is a better way of doing it.

4.0.15 Foreign Key Creation Bug?
The table creation script(at the end of this post) works fine on 4.0.1-alpha-win, but the foreign key constraints fail on 4.0.15-win. I am starting the server with the same command for both versions: mysqld-max-nt --console --transaction-isolation=SERIALIZABLE In 4.0.15-win I can extract the following error after I run the table creation script: [test01] ERROR 1005: Can't create table '.ibdata#sql-a14_3.frm' (errno: 150) Also, the InnoDB status in 4.0.150-win shows: ------------------------ LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR ------------------------ 030930 19:38:49 Error in foreign key constraint of table ibdata/#sql-a14_3: Cannot find an index in the referenced table where the referenced columns appear as the first columns, or column types in the table and the referenced table do not match for constraint: FOREIGN KEY (contactInfo_fk) REFERENCES contact(pk) ON DELETE SET NULL See http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html for correct foreign key definition. But the above is wrong. I DO have an index defined on the foreign key, it IS the first column in the index, and their IS NO type mismatch. Since this works on 4.0.1, I have to think this is a bug.

Foreign Key Creation
I'm creating a calendar scheduling system with PHP and MySQL to keep track of lessons. I have one form in which the user enters the information about the event that needs to be scheduled. Then I need three entries to be made in three different tables. What I have is one table that keeps track of the entries in the calendar. Then I have two more, one for how much the teacher needs to get paid as a result of the number of hours and the other is how much the student needs to pay based on the hours. The only problem is that I want the student and teacher paying tables to have the unique ID of the calendar entry to which the payments are associated. So the problem is I can insert the entries into the calendar tables, and it will automatically create a unique ID for that entry, but then how can I take the ID for that entry and insert it into the two other tables. The best I could come up with is somehow query the last entry created but i'm not sure how, or even if that is a good way of doing it.
