Is there a way to do the equivalent of this DBISAM code

cmLastUpdate := lu.CallMenu.LastUpdated;

(ie datetime := table.LastUpdated)

in ElevateDB or do I have to query the OS?

No.

Querying the OS will only get you to a certain level of precision in terms
of the file's date and time stamp, but yes, that will do approximately what
you want.

Is there an official ElevateDB way to determine if a table has changed (other than running through every record to see)?

Triggers and logging the changes.

I assume you don't mean Configuration.LogEvents since that's read only, trying to alter it inspires me to ask "how do I clear it?"

No, LogEvents is read-only and cannot be cleared by any other means besides
simply deleting the log file (EDBConfig.EDBLog).
