table last modified date/time?

I'm curious if there is a quick way to query the date/time a table was last
modified? I appreciate any tips or suggestions provided!

TIA - Rob

Not by default. One way is to have a timestamp column. Note, this is
simply an increasing number, not a real datetime.

The other is to have a trigger on updates/inserts that updates a Date Time
field.

Ahh... thanks for the feedback. Just making sure there wasn't something
built in for that purpose. I'll set up a timestamp then. Thanks!!!
