I know this really isn't a admin thing, but I need help with a sql statement. <server info> Mandrake 7.0 MySQL 3.23 </server info> CREATE TABLE tblBlah ( blahId integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, dateOf date Default sysdate() ); I basically want mysql to input the current date when I enter table data... I can't get sysdate to output the current date, i've changed the the data type, i've used curdate() and other mysql date functions...any ideas? Brett Astleford Platinum Design Group
