MYSQL中TIMESTAMP类型可以设定默认值，就像其他类型一样。
1、自动UPDATE 和INSERT 到当前的时间：
表：
/*DDL Information For - test.t1*/
---------------------------------

Table   Create Table                                                                         
------  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t1      CREATE TABLE `t1` (                                                                  
          `p_c` int(11) NOT NULL,                                                            
           `p_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP   
        ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=gb2312                                               


数据：

1    2007-10-08 11:53:35
2    2007-10-08 11:54:00

insert into t1(p_c) select 3;
update t1 set p_c = 2 where p_c = 2;

数据：

1    2007-10-08 11:53:35
2    2007-10-08 12:00:37
3    2007-10-08 12:00:37

2、自动INSERT 到当前时间，不过不自动UPDATE。

表：

/*DDL Information For - test.t1*/

---------------------------------

Table   Create Table                                             

------  ---------------------------------------------------------

t1      CREATE TABLE `t1` (                                      

          `p_c` int(11) NOT NULL,                                

          `p_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP  

        ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=gb2312                   

数据：

insert into t1(p_c) select 4;

update t1 set p_c = 3 where p_c = 3;

1    2007-10-08 11:53:35

2    2007-10-08 12:00:37

3    2007-10-08 12:00:37

4    2007-10-08 12:05:19

3、一个表中不能有两个字段默认值是当前时间，否则就会出错。不过其他的可以。

表：

/*DDL Information For - test.t1*/

---------------------------------

Table   Create Table                                                   

------  ---------------------------------------------------------------

t1      CREATE TABLE `t1` (                                            

          `p_c` int(11) NOT NULL,                                      

          `p_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,       

          `p_timew2` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00'  

        ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=gb2312                         

数据：

1    2007-10-08 11:53:35    0000-00-00 00:00:00

2    2007-10-08 12:00:37    0000-00-00 00:00:00

3    2007-10-08 12:00:37    0000-00-00 00:00:00

4    2007-10-08 12:05:19    0000-00-00 00:00:00
