I have been provided with a table where one of the columns is of TimeStamp data type. My question is how to insert and update data in this column through my SQL Statement? When I run my SQL statement, it gives me an error with this column name in the error.

You cannot insert into a timestamp column. SQL server does that for you. Thats the purpose of having a timestamp column. Readup books online for more info on timestamp columns.

Thanks. That's the impression I had, but I get some error. Let me see the cause of the error in that case.
