• How to find out table updated during last one hour?
• How to get exact date and time of a table when it was last updated?

Below are the list of queries using which you can find out recently modified tables in MYSQL.

List of tables updated in last 5 Minutes:

SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA,TABLE_NAME,UPDATE_TIME
FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`TABLES`
WHERE
DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 5 MINUTE) < `UPDATE_TIME`;

List of tables updated in last one Hour:

SELECT *
FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`TABLES`
WHERE
DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 HOUR) < `UPDATE_TIME`;

Find updated time based on table name:

SELECT UPDATE_TIME
FROM   information_schema.tables
WHERE  TABLE_SCHEMA = 'DBNAME'
