显示最新查询结果

Question

i have a query that i use to count the number of rows as a result, but i would also like to print out the most recent row of that query, in a view, but only that recent query instead of the whole array

basically i use this query, then run a count to display the amount of rows which is a count i display, but i also want to display the latest date, location, and code, it can only get it to display all

Answer 1

2 options...

Select * from table order by primary_key desc;

count the results and print the first (most recent) row

or run two separate queries...

select count(primary_key) as num_rows from table;
select * from table order by primary_key desc limit 1;
