| I have a SQL table with user accounts and another application reads from this table.This table contains the moddate column for each record as well.However should I need to set any last modified flags such that the application reads or picksup only the changes after it read last time?Any suggestions please.Thanks. |

| If I understand your question correctly, all you need to do is set moddate = getdate() when you update existing records or insert new records. Then you'll be able to select all records with moddate > your last read date/time. Let me know if I misunderstood. |

| You can set a default on modadte field to GETDATE() for this. Also you need to make sure you have application run datetime stored somewhere to compare against table records datefield. |
