Timestamp without change on update

Question

In mysql I have a timestamp with the field name added_on. I created that for a table of leads for a crm. But it\'s getting updated whenever I updat

Answer 1

You added a ON UPDATE condition to the column!! To remove this, redefine the column as

ALTER TABLE `mytable` MODIFY `added_on` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;

This will effectively remove the ON UPDATE condition.
