moddatetime.c

What is this?
|
|
It is a function to be called from a trigger for the perpose of updating
|
|
a modification datetime stamp in a record when that record is UPDATEd.
|
|
|
|
Credits
|
|
This is 95%+ based on autoinc.c, which I used as a starting point as I do
|
|
not really know what I am doing. I also had help from
|
|
Jan Wieck <jwieck@debis.com> who told me about the datetime_in("now") function.
|
|
OH, me, I'm Terry Mackintosh <terry@terrym.com>
