Re: Timestamp when a record is updated...

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had this work on an Insert into a table but not on an Update.  Follow this:

CREATE TABLE ROB/DTTEST (MYFIELD CHAR (10), THEDATE TIMESTAMP NOT  
NULL WITH DEFAULT)                                                 
CREATE VIEW ROB/DTTEST2 (MYFIELD) AS SELECT MYFIELD FROM ROB/DTTEST
INSERT INTO ROB/DTTEST2 VALUES('Hi ya')                            
select * from rob/dttest                                           
        MYFIELD     THEDATE                   
        Hi ya       1999-08-23-11.41.38.402920
UPDATE ROB/DTTEST2 SET MYFIELD = 'putz'
select * from rob/dttest               
        MYFIELD     THEDATE                   
        putz        1999-08-23-11.41.38.402920

Therefore I recommend the trigger.
