Re: Bug #696: timestamp function does not work?

Please check the release notes and the SQL standard for why you can not
call a function timestamp() directly; the syntax is now reserved for
specifying a data type, not a function call.

For this particular case, you should be using the SQL-standard
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.

You can convert date, time to timestamp by casting date to timestamp and
then adding the time.
