MySQL time-out

Is it possible to check when a 'field' in a 'row' was last updated?

Short 'n sweet! :D


The only way I can think of doing this is to set the time in a field.. and then check against this.. but I'm sure there must be an easier way!

Thanks.

That sounds like a pretty easy way in itself.

look at it from the mysql developer's side: Imagine they had put a timestamp on every database change. How much memory/time would that have taken? would it have been worth it to save somebody a couple seconds and some planning? Sorry, you gotta do it yourself. It builds character, as my dad would say :)
