Timestamp Default Value
I am using:
mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.18, for sun-solaris2.9 (sparc)
And I do this:
mysql> create table test (a timestamp default null, b timestamp default null);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> desc test;
+-------+---------------+------+-----+----------------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------------+------+-----+----------------+-------+
| a | timestamp(14) | YES | | NULL | |
| b | timestamp(14) | YES | | 00000000000000 | |
+-------+---------------+------+-----+----------------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Can anyone tell my why the default value for column 'b' is not NULL as well?

Datetime And Timestamp As Default
I would like a column created_timestamp to be populated on record creation (and preferably not updatable); and a column updated_timestamp to be populated on record creation, and then automatically updated on any update. should created_timestamp be of type datetime? and updated_timestamp be of type timestamp? and is ordering of the columns an issue (i.e. only the first gets updated)? mysql complains on the following? create table history ( name varchar(20) not null, createdtimestamp datetime not null default current_timestamp, updatedtimestamp timestamp not null, primary key(name) );

How To Set Default Values For Timestamp Fields
what is the syntax for specifying the default values for timestamps in MySQL in the CREATE TABLE command? I have 2 timestamps, one for when the record was entered, the other for any subsequent updates. I know that the first timestamp column will be set automatically on updates, but how does the other for creation timestamp get set. My app is not generating the SQL directly so setting the value using the NOW() command is not an option, as the inserts are coming from different timezones I cannot let the clients set their own values.

Default Current Timestamp Issues
Using MySQL 4.1.7. I have a sole TIMESTAMP column in the table: insert_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, Looking at the timestamp docs, a query with NULL or empty, should cause the column to use the current time for its default value, but is not automatically updated. However, putting NULL or simply leaving blank in an INSERT query, gives 01/01/0001. Any ideas?

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?

Value Of Timestamp
I wonder if anybody knows for certain what the value of a field with data type timestamp will be? a) The value will be the time when the update is performed? b) The time when the transaction is committed? The reason I ask is because it could make a significant difference. imagine the following. I am interested in reading all changes in a table made between time T0 and time T5. later I will to the same but between time T5 and time T10. then imagine this: T0 T4 - someone makes an update (transaction tx1 is started) T5 - run query that checks for changes between T0 and T5 T6 - tx1 is committed T10 - run query that checks for changes between T5 and T10 if value of timestamp is according to a) then I will never find out that a change was made. if it is according to b) I will see the change at time T10 when I run my query.

In this case, use 21st Nov as this is today's date. From the example I will get 1 - Jack and 4 - Jack. The format of the time in the table is really troublesome for me.

Timestamp Import
I need to import into mysql data from DB2.

Converting Timestamp
i am retrieving mysql datetime and timestamp fields into php and then dumping them out for display. The datetime fields come out in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, while the timestamps come back in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format. Is there any way in sql to get the timestamps converted to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format so that I don't have to do a bunch of string manipulations in php in order to get the format to be consistent? (All of the docs seem to refer to ways to manipulate the format of datetimes and not timestamps. The datetime format is fine with me, it's the timestamp format that looks like geek-speak.)

I tired to do it by updating the records but it is going to be one at a time by (concatening) and adding a column and then converting month, date and year of each record. i exported the columns to excel and tried it there but unsuccessful.

Timestamp Does NOW() Return
I am inserting data into a mysql database via PHP. In my insert statement, I use NOW() to insert the current time into a field of type timestamp(14). Now I am trying to convert this timestamp to a readable date. Is this a unix timestamp? a mysql timestamp? something else I've never heard of? I tried some PHP functions I found on the web to convert a mysql timestamp to a unix timestamp. But when I plugged in the timestamp I'm getting from my data, it returns a date in the future. So either: a) the function is flawed b) the clock on the database server is off c) it's not a mysql timestamp
