What's the use case for this?

i have an idea for updating a locally downloded db after some updates w/o releasing a new version like sundae gutka does

How does the count help, though? Wouldn't you just the appropriate endpoint for what you want to pull?

pull after a certain amt of changes

@ManjotS does the Updated column behave the way this PR is expecting?

Jul 16 '20 02:07 tsingh777

its ok if its not really needed i can find some other way

Yes updated is updated when the line changes in any way. Keep in mind it could be translit change.

bump @tsingh777 @navdeepsinghkhalsa do you guys think this is useful to have or we can do without?

@AkalUstat wouldnt a fixed # of line changes lead to fewer and fewer updates? ie as the db gets better youd wait longer and longer b/c there are less lines that will need changing
