Re: select now(); doesn't change

[Tom Hanlon]

Replication set the time to the server time of the master,

It does this by wrapping each binlog event in a

set timestamp statement.

You must have run this in a client or something.

mysql> SET TIMESTAMP=1259819684;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> select now();
+---------------------+
| now() |
+---------------------+
| 2009-12-03 00:54:44 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select now();
+---------------------+
| now() |
+---------------------+
| 2009-12-03 00:54:44 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SET TIMESTAMP=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select now();
+---------------------+
| now() |
+---------------------+
| 2009-12-03 00:56:17 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
