Re: Update timestamp automatically when row changes

That's an Oops! Correct that the default by omission is for Insert, not Update. Sorry. For DML UPDATE then SET DEFAULT or SET CURRENT TIMESTAMP. Otherwise as already noted in other replies, an UPDATE TRIGGER in addition to the logical view omitting the TIMESTAMP column, or with both UPDATE and INSERT TRIGGERs.

Regards, Chuck

If I understand what you are suggesting, that is what I'm
doing now. The timestamp field is defined with default
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. I don't believe that updates on row
changes however.

I must have missed the PF default values thread. I'll
take a look at it and see if it will work.
