>From the remark about the arrival and departure time scenario, it sounds like you want to show whether the updates occurred and when they began/ended. If this is accurate, you should find out whether the scripts used to populate those databases record that information for the database it is updating. If so you need to create a script that opens each database and queries that data. If they do not record these things you could either modify them to do so or you could have them also connect to a central db that you create to store this collection of data to show beginning and ending of the scripts. I think either way you should store this in your own db. Is this along the lines of what you had in mind?
