    I need a word for a column heading in a table.

    The column will contain how much data a particular system keeps – for example; the past 24 hours, the past six months, the past five years.

    I’ve considered “age”, “longevity”, “antiquity”…

    Any suggestions?

    Dangleberry or clagnut have a certain ring, but might not be appropriate.

    Life,
    Lifespan,
    Duration
    Halflife

    Are all I can be bothered thinking about. 😉

    Thanks all – some good suggestions. I’ve learnt a new word today (caducity), but the winner is the dull and obvious… history.

    steve-g – you beat me to it in suggesting ‘moist’.

    Moist is the bestest word evererer.

    Although perhaps ‘gusset’ comes a close second.

    ‘Moist gusset’ is just too damn rude.

    I’ve always been fond of “flange”.
