In the chapter on CREATE TABLE, it says this: "Default values must be constants. This means, for example, that you cannot set the default for a date column to be the value of a function such as NOW() or CURRENT_DATE" Consider using a TIMESTAMP, or insert NOW() whenever you insert. //C -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
