Re: timestamp default current_timestamp not working

Show us the code (especially since there is no value "nil" in SQL).

Its an insert and my insert SQL contains the column timestamp and value nil. 

Will it work if the SQL contains timestamp through value is nil

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.
