Hi,

What would be an easy way to find out the newest ‘n’ rows that have been inserted in a table ?

@bokehJul 26.2006 — Is there an auto incrementing ID column? If so:[CODE]SELECT * FROM [I]tablename[/I] ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10[/CODE]

if you want latest 10 updated rows

add a some field say 'ts_fieldname' of type timestamp and set its attributes 'ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' and default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

now u can get latest 10 updated rows as
[CODE]SELECT * FROM [I]tablename[/I] ORDER BY ts_fieldname DESC LIMIT 10[/CODE]
