Hi
I am not getting the timestamp value which i am expecting to be
automatically inserted in the column defined:
...
"timestamp" timestamp with time zone DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
...
(I see the above definition in pgadmin4 in the tab SQL.
I have set it thru pgadmin4 table->properties->columns by entering
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in the default column)
why is the timestamp value not being automatically inserted by the system
1) It is a DEFAULT value so if a value is provided in the INSERT that
will be used.
2) DEFAULT values only apply to INSERTs not UPDATEs.
with warm regards
