Question

I have a date column in my table. When I perform an update query on the rows, each time the date gets refreshed to the current date. I have set date’s default value to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP but why is this happening each time?

UPDATE

My create query:

CREATE TABLE  `ACCOUNTS` (
  `id` bigint(7) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL,
  `date` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `status` varchar(1) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1234567 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

Answer 1

It’s probably something to do with date being a keyword. try changing it to some_date. Was CURRENT_TIMESTAMP intentional?
