It depends on what you are after. The main thing about a timestamp is that
it is updated every time you update the row. This can be useful,
particularly in a replicated database.

Hi All:

Has anyone had a reason to use the timestamp type fields and is there any
best way to seed those fields and best practices to use. 

TIA
Jim
