You are going to have to expand on the above. In particular what is the 
'source DB'? Does this mean the data is coming from another database? Or 
more generally where is the data coming from? Bottom line is I don't see 
DEFAULT now() or localtimestamp randomly reverting back a year. There is 
something else in this process that is setting the timestamp back.
