How can I tell when a MySQL table was last updated?

Question

In the footer of my page, I would like to add something like \"last updated the xx/xx/200x\" with this date being the last time a certain mySQL table has been updated.

Answer 1

I got this to work locally, but not on my shared host for my public website (rights issue I think).

SELECT last_update FROM mysql.innodb_table_stats WHERE table_name = 'yourTblName';

'2020-10-09 08:25:10'
