Sure. I am using SQL_server 2000. The servers are all mirrored and they run update agents every so often. The table in question shows which agents ran at which times. I only want a server to run an agent if that agent hasn't run in X minutes. So the servers check to see when it ran last if it is past X minutes the server will update the LastRun time and run the agent.
This is all to prevent each server from running each agent each time.

Most databases provide some sort of build in functionality to do this for the obvious reason (automatic incrementing of a primary key field). So you must have a non-obvious reason to do this. Could you elaborate on what you want to do? And perhaps telling us what dbms you are using would help as well.
