How to Update MySQL Timestamp

In MySQL, you can use the UPDATE statement to modify the time of a timestamp type. Here’s an example:

If there is a table named table_name that includes a column named timestamp_column of type timestamp, you can modify the time in that column using the following UPDATE statement:

UPDATE table_name SET timestamp_column = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP WHERE condition;

In the above statement, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP represents the current time, while condition is an optional parameter used to specify which rows to update. The condition can be customized according to specific requirements.

Additionally, you can use the DATE_ADD and DATE_SUB functions to perform addition and subtraction operations on timestamp data types. For example, if you want to add 1 day to the time in the timestamp_column column, you can use the following UPDATE statement:

UPDATE table_name SET timestamp_column = DATE_ADD(timestamp_column, INTERVAL 1 DAY) WHERE condition;

Similarly, the condition is an optional parameter used to specify which rows should be updated. Customize the condition based on your specific situation.
