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?
