MySQL last table alteration time

[Steve Alligood]

Please be aware that most of the versions of mysql 5 have a bug with the 
information_schema view that causes major performance degradation when 
you use it with a "large amounts of data" or "a lot of tables".  This 
could be a couple hundred tables or even a couple hundred MB of data

small databases are probably fine.
