Yeah, except that the "c" in "ctime" does not stand for create, and therefore the function isn't necessarily reliable. The problem is even worse for tables, where a rewrite may remove the old file and create a new one. I mean, I'm not stupid about this: when I need to figure this kind of stuff out, I do in fact look at the file times - mtime, ctime, atime, whatever there is. Sometimes that turns out to be helpful, and sometimes it doesn't. An obvious example of the latter is when you're looking at a bunch of files that have just been untarred from a backup device. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
