Custom Object

(e.g. Term)

Created Date

Created date in the source system for some model, such as when the database DDL’s CREATE TABLE statement was executed, note that:

• Created Date is not available on all imported tool technologies, and therefore may not be set.
• All columns have the same Created Date, as the Table they belong to, as all databases do not track column level changes.

The time the object was created in Talend Data Catalog , and not just the time model it is contained in was created.

Modified Date

When the object was last modified in the source system, such as when the last database DDL’s ALTER TABLE statement was executed. Note that:

• Modified Date is not available on all imported tool technologies, and therefore may not be set.
• If a table has not been modified, the Modified date is the same as the Created Date (to avoid double query).
• All columns of a given table have the same Modified Date as the Table they belong to, as all databases do not track column level changes.
• Modified Date are populated from properties that might have slightly different names in the imported tool such as Snowflake table last altered time.

Not Applicable
