I would have said to look at the creation date of the .frn file, but there is also a field called create date in the show table status command and the 2 dates often differ. Anyone know why they do? On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 9:28 AM, Jerry Schwartz jschwa...@the-infoshop.comwrote: At the risk of

The create date in show table status is metadata held in the table itself wheras the create data on the .frm file is when that file was created - i.e. if you copy the data files (without preserving attributes) it will have a new creation date on the filesystem but the metadata of the table will
