Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: When was an index last rebuilt?
I haven't checked this so I may be totally off-base here.... but dba_objects
has a column called timestamp which is the last time the object was
changed.... I used to use it to find out when a package or a procedure had
been changed. It MIGHT tell you when an index was rebuilt.
Caution: in Oracle7 it was a varchar2(75) column, in 8.1.6 they've gotten some sense and it's down to varchar2(19).
It MIGHT work.
