Hi List, I've got a weird problem using SapDB 7.4 and PHP.
We're saving bookings in our Database. Besides the booking data we also save a timestamp so we always know the exact time a booking was initiated. Our booking department, which reads and completes the bookings, has a refreshing window, which alerts via JavaScript, when a new booking was inserted in the database. Herefore we have a table saving the last timestamp when the refresher was loaded. This means: I compare the booking time and the time the refresher last loaded. Thereofore I use the condition WHERE TIMESTAMP(BOOKING.BOOOKINGTIME) > TIMESTAMP(CHECK_NEW_BOOKINGS.LASTREFRESH) And here I noticed the problem: We insert the booking Like INSERT INTO BOOKING VALUES (...,NOW(),...) We also make an INSERT INTO CHECK_NEW_BOOKINGS VALUES (EVENTID,NOW()) The mysteroius thing is: the NOW() parameter inserts two different timestamps into these two tables. For instance, if we load the refresher first, it inserts as timestamp "2005-09-01 10:22:22.7591558". Now, directly after the refresher loaded, we insert a booking but the timestamp is about 17 seconds earlier than the timestamp inserted by the fresher. ("2005-09-01 10:22:05.137049"). I also noticed, that the database timestamp is about 2 seconds earlier than the current system/hardware time. I hope you can help me, I really don't have a clue what this could be. Thanks alot!
