Is this something that has been considered for implementation?
I wrote a blog about this:

You all are *grossly* over-complicating this.

Not really. This discussion has come up before and it starts with the simple case of timestamp the initial CREATE. This would suffice for some folks. However, it then progresses into a request for full object audit system.

This is directly akin to Henry Ford refusing to build cars because people will *someday*** want computerized fuel injection, crumple zones and air bags.

No it is following this:

https://commitfest.postgresql.org/26/

and this:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20191223051726.GA30778%40fetter.org

and understanding there are finite resources and that not everything is going to get done and that choices have to be made. Given that there are alternatives available I can see why this choice does not rise to the level of imminent action.

If there's not enough time and motivation for the developers to implement CREATED_ON and LAST_ALTERED in pg_class, then you should have said that in the first place.  We're adults; we understand that OSS projects have limited resources, and won't go off and pout in the corner.

But that's not what y'all said.  "It's too complicated, mission creep, blah blah blah" just extended way too long.



I understand why there is no great desire to start down this path by the developers, they know the pressure would be on to expand the code. As Fabrízio mentions in another post this is something that could be covered in an extension. FYI, I do it by using Sqitch for my schema object creation.
