Or if you don't want to have to physically use NULL then you could use a TimeStamp column which will always update the column whenever the row is changed (for the first TimeStamp column in the table). TimeStamp is more automatic but may be too automatic if some times you don't want the timestamp column updated. The choice is yours.
