Is it possible to set a field to Timestamp but not have it change on update to current timestamp?
I’m trying to do that using phpMyAdmin and it doesn’t let me remove the default on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
See this question and answer: Support user time zones
I am trying to use the TIMESTAMP as it will allow me to play around with the timezones easily.
Is it not possible to keep the data in that field intact when updating the same row?
This is the behaviour of TIMESTAMP. It can be confusing alright. Read this to work through it. Alternatively consider using a DATETIME.
