Having both a Created and Last Updated timestamp columns in MySQL 4.0

Question

I have the following table schema;

CREATE TABLE `db1`.`sms_queue` (
  `Id` INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `Message` VARCHAR(160) NOT NULL DEFAUL         


        

Answer 1

i think this is the better query for stamp_created and stamp_updated

CREATE TABLE test_table( 
    id integer not null auto_increment primary key, 
    stamp_created TIMESTAMP DEFAULT now(), 
    stamp_updated TIMESTAMP DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' ON UPDATE now() 
); 

because when the record created, stamp_created should be filled by now() and stamp_updated should be filled by '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
