My database is restored from a dump file every day. How I know that this database is up to date (as it has no timestamp in any table). If I create a file, I can know when I created it by seeing its property. How I can do the same thing with a back up database.
Actually, it *would* be really handy if pg_dump included a timestamp in the plain-text output. The version I use regularly (Windows) doesn't...it simply says "PostgreSQL database dump" which is only helpful to a point. :-)
