Question : disable default "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" field when executing UPDATE query

Hi,

I have a field called datetime that's set to default "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" and when I execute an "UPDATE" query the field datetime get's the current time...is there someway to disabled this while I'm running the "Update" query?

I need to update some records and it's affecting the datetime field.

update my_t set name='John' where name='Johnny' -> after running this the field datetime gets the current time which is not good.

Cheers!
