Note that the property StartTime is when the server was started. There is not an equivalent property for when the database file was started as far as I know.

6	The SYSHISTORY table should have this information. Look for the LAST_START operation. permanent link answered 27 Sep '13, 14:30 Chris Keating 7.0k●45●116 accept rate: 30% Ok...thank you! (27 Sep '13, 14:39) Walmir Taques flat view

Note: SYSHISTORY has been introduced in ASA 9.0.1. Generally, and for older versions, you can also query the according server property via

SELECT property('StartTime');

That's even easier IMHO.

Very strange, but the system view SYSHISTORY shows yesterday:

   

I. 10/18 10:34:13. Starting database "..." (D:\ ... .db) at Wed Oct 18 2017 10:34

but

select last_time from SYSHISTORY where operation='LAST_START'

2017-10-17 10:48:02.000

For current versions, I think SYSHISTORY entries for "START" and "LAST_START" seem to get refreshed only when a new version has been applied and not for general starts of the database. In my case, a v12.0.1 database has been started a few days ago but the last_time of the "LAST_START" row lists a date in 2016 when the last EBF had been applied...
