One might even suggest that this should really be a default for all tables everywhere, because at some time or another, someone wants to know when something got put in the database...
The way I do it is to add a timestamp field with a default value of now(). Unfortunately, this won't help with any records that have already been created.
I don't think there is a way to do that. You'll have to create an audit table and a rule to update it or you'll have to add a column to the table and a trigger to update it.
