Ruby on Rails: How to get the model/table modification time

I know every row has its timestamp (modified_at), but I would like to get the time of the latest modification (row added/modified/deleted) of the database table.

I have a daemon running in the background that needs to periodically check if a table has changed.

So far, I haven't found a way to do this.

Easy, just use the ActiveRecord-provided maximum method, like so

MyModel.maximum(:updated_on)

Use the maximum class method on your model:

whole_table_updated_at = YourModel.maximum('updated_at')
