Retrieving last updated row from MYSQL (not last inserted)

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 26.2008

Hi

I have a database of links. Sometimes these links break, I want to make a list of recently fixed links. Either in the past 24 hours, or just the last 5 or so.

Is this possible, and how?

thanks

@NogDogJul 26.2008 — It's possible if you include a timestamp or datetime column in the table that you set to the current time when you update it. (If you use a timestamp type, you can define it to automatically update on any update of its row.)
