Hi folks, I posted this question a few days ago and got no response so I guess it cannot be done (surprising!) So that leaves me with my business problem.
We create a table for each days activity. After N days (typically 7 days) we can drop the table. The table name is not known so cannot force business to make tablename something like mydata_MMDDYY I'd like to be able to do something like: SELECT tablename FROM pg_??? WHERE to_char( ???, 'dd/mm/yy' ) = to_char( now() - interval '7 days', 'dd/mm/yy' ) Any suggestions? --- Prior msg was: Folks, I have a list of tables for which I want to get the date they were created...and if possible the date last updateded. I suspect there is a pg_??? table that can answer this question but I don't know what it is and I cannot find it mentioned in any docs. Any suggestions...tia -D p.s.
