Hello Marie,


        In most of my tables, I have the same
        two columns:

         lastupdate    TIMESTAMP not null default
                       ('now'::text)::timestamp(8),
         createdate    TIMESTAMP not null default
                       ('now'::text)::timestamp(8)

         "createdate" is only written once,  of course.
        and populates automatically.

         I have created a trigger to automaticaly change
        "lastupdate" every time the record is updated.

        I re-read your question however - and you mention
        *table* creation date.      Do you have tables
        that are created dynamically ?  Could you provide
        a bit more detail ?     How is table creation
        date useful for you ?

How can I identify table creation date as opposed to last modified?
