Sorry for the confusion, maybe I wasn't clear in the question. I reread my post and thought it might be misunderstood.
The data in my CSV file isn't all zeros, but the timestamp column in my table is all zeros. According to the timestamp docs, auto update of the first timestamp column occurs if the column isn't specified in an INSERT or LOAD DATA INFILE statement. Let's say that my table has 3 columns (last is a timestamp type). My CSV file has two columns. Shouldn't my timestamp column get auto updated using LOAD DATA INFILE?
