Is there any need for a column in pg_class for that? You could just create an event trigger looking for CREATE TABLE as filter_value: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/sql-createeventtrigger.html And then have this event trigger just save the timestamp value of now() in a custom table with the name and/or OID of the relation involved. -- Michael
