Because it stores only seconds and if your procedure's runtime is short (< 1 sec) you will get the same numbers.
Other problem is: if you call same procedure in LOOP, you will get 1 - 2 - 5 ... 15 ... 500 records with same value in start and end time column. And (I think so) there's no way how to get the order of inserting of these records. JP On Mon 25.
