Hi Erik,

What version of MySQL do you have?

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%version%";

Please quote the objects ...

ALTER TABLE `pimitemtable` ALTER `atime` SET DEFAULT current_timestamp();

Now, if that doesn't work, please try this:

ALTER TABLE `pimitemtable` MODIFY `atime`
timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp();

and just for grins:

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP();
