Didn´t know that existed. :-)

Anyway, my observation was not on the now() function, but at the casting. He
wants the output of th select over a timestamp field to come out without the
milliseconds, which is done with the casting.

Now, seeing your mail I realize that what he may want is this:

CREATE TABLE table_name (
.....
time_field timestamp(0)
);

Remember you will lose those milliseconds for ever with this table definition.
