title: Automatically stamp date only in MySQL column
body: <p>Is there a way to add a column in MySQL to stamp the DATE only? I know that <code>now()</code> can be used in the sql to do this. But I'm looking for a way that the database itself automatically adds the date (yyyy-mm-dd) when a record is being added? In my case the time is not necessary, therefore I would rather store the date only (not sure if this a bad practise).</p>
