Is there a MySQL function that will allow me to ascertain the date and
time that a particular field's value was last updated. I can't find
anything in the MySQL documentation.


MySQL doesn't store change histories. That's the job of the application 
software.

It is almost certainly not possible. If you look in the manual for the 
storage space occupied by each field, you will see there is no space to 
store any form of timestamp. Since MySQL does not store the data you want, 
it cannot extract it for you.

Unfortunately that would have to be designed into the system into a field.
When updated, the instructions would be to instruct that field to update.

Cheers

Function to show when a field's value was last updated

2005-10-18 Thread Mark

Hi,

I need it some info to help a client defend against a legal challenge. 
Is there a MySQL function that will allow me to ascertain the date and 
time that a particular field's value was last updated. I can't find 
anything in the MySQL documentation.


Thanks very much.
Mark
