Create Temp Table for getting max date

Hi,

I was wandering if anyone could give me some help...
The idea is that I want to create a stored procedure that will check a bunch of tables and give me the latest 'LastUpdated' field

Something like:-
Select Max(LastUpdated)
from Table1
= @date1
Add Date1 to tempTable

Repeat for each table

And then get the max date of all dates in the temp table and return this...

Any Help would be much appreciated

If you have no more than 16 tables you can get away with this:


[PHP]Select Max(LastUpdated)
FROM (
select LastUpdate from Table1
UNION
select LastUpdate from Table2
UNION
select LastUpdate from Table3
....
UNION
select LastUpdate from Table16) a[/PHP]

Good Luck.
