If you're using MySQL 4.1 or above for your db store, you can also use a
timestamp column like:
ts timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
MySQL should keep the timestamp current for every update for this column. Of
course the earlier comment about the extra work for the db still applies.
Leaving off the "on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" part and overriding the update
method would save you the extra update per update. But if your db is pretty
unloaded, this is certainly the easiest way to go.
