Hi Paul,
I am getting below error while executing the trigger you shared. May be because
of new FB version? I am executing using FlamRobin tool.
Please see error below:
*** IBPP::SQLException ***Context: Statement::Prepare( create trigger before

Yes, a trigger is definitely the way to go, e.g. like this:
set term #;
create trigger before update on MyTable
as
begin
if (new.col3 is distinct from old.col3)
then new.col5 = current_timestamp;
end#
set term ;#
If col3 is non-nullable you can simply use "new.col3 <> old.col3" in the
test.
Mind you, an explicit update that re-enters the existing value in col3
won't cause col5 to be updated!
HTH,
