The problem isn't CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, it's your table definition.
If you create the field as timestamp(0) [in 7.3, that's timestamp(0)
with time zone, since the default has swung to no-TZ], it will keep
track of just HMS. Or put in other values for 0 for more granularity on
seconds.
Of course, you can always store the specific time and select it out
w/less resolution (using the time/date functions). In some cases, this
might be a better solution.
