PL/SQL: How to Check Table Creation Time – A Comprehensive Guide

This guide provides a simple and effective method to retrieve the creation time of any table in PL/SQL. By querying the USER_OBJECTS data dictionary view, you can quickly access essential metadata for your database administration and development tasks.

Querying Table Creation Time in PL/SQL:

To find the creation timestamp of a specific table, execute the following SQL query:

SELECT CREATED FROM USER_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_NAME = 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME' AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'TABLE';

Note: Replace 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME' with the actual name of the table you wish to inspect. This query will return the exact date and time the table was created in your Oracle database.

This method is invaluable for auditing, troubleshooting, and managing database objects efficiently in a PL/SQL environment.
