Re: finding exactley when a record was inserted...

I guess I should have been more specific. We have a table in place already with a few million rows. We would like to find out (within a date range) the date/time a record was inserted. I understand I can add a new column and use SYSDATE but I'm curious about the rows already there...with no date column in place using SYSDATE.

Thanks
