> Currently, database do not have creation time like we have for tables and partitions.
> {noformat}
> // namespace for tables
> struct Database {
>   1: string name,
>   2: string description,
>   3: string locationUri,
>   4: map<string, string> parameters, // properties associated with the database
>   5: optional PrincipalPrivilegeSet privileges,
>   6: optional string ownerName,
>   7: optional PrincipalType ownerType,
>   8: optional string catalogName
> }
> {noformat}
> Currently, without creationTime there is no way to identify if the copy of Database which a client has is the same as the one on the server if the name is same. Without object ids creationTime value is the only way currently to identify uniquely a instance of metastore object. It would be good to have Database creation time as well.
