Hi All, I am trying to use a function as a default value for a column but do not seem to get the desired result. I want to use the NOW() function for a last_updated column, here is my code...
CREATE TABLE test_table ( last_updated datetime NOT NULL default `NOW()` ) TYPE=MyISAM; This gives an error; CREATE TABLE test_table ( last_updated datetime NOT NULL default 'NOW()' ) TYPE=MyISAM; Now the table shows a default value of 0000-00-00 00:00:00, when I add a new row the value of last_updated is also 0000-00-00 00:00:00. I am using MySQL 3.23.37, can anyone help?
