Ordinary temp file.. say example in C:\output.txt
Actually  i have given that file as input to some procedure, based on 
that modification time we have calculate some details.

you can do that using OS command, any specific reason u want to use stored
proc to get this information.

If windows u can use

dir file_name

 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 9822-5D20

 Directory of C:\

07/26/2005  02:26 AM 1,442 archival_s.pls
   1 File(s)  1,442 bytes
   0 Dir(s)   5,230,874,624 bytes free


in unix
ls -ltr file_name

ls -ltr abc.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34296 Jul 23 15:07 abc.txt

On Codd's rules, it oughtn't to be possible---it'd be a backdoor. If 
there is a need to know the datetime of the last mod to a table, that 
info ought to be in a column in a table.

It sounds like you are using a procedural language to call MySQL. Why 
don't you use that language to obtain the file info?

In a related thread from earlier today you were advised that any
interaction with the filesystem should be done via a programming
language of your choice.  Did you have any luck writing a program to
do just that?
