Actually, I was referring to the distinction between "now" (the three character string, not a function call) and the function call now(). Postgres date/time columns understand "now" as a plain, quoted string (and treats it as you described). MySQL does not. MySQL does have a now() function, but that's not the same thing as the string "now" from the perspective of SQL generation. -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
