Select the second last row in Mysql

Question

I've been trying to get the second last row of data on mysql. But my query only shows the last row.

SELECT news.news_title, news.news_details, news.news_author, news_images.filename
FROM news JOIN news_images 
ON news.news_title = news_images.news_title 
ORDER BY news_id DESC LIMIT 1

Answer 1

Use OFFSET to get second last value like:

SELECT news.news_title, news.news_details, news.news_author, news_images.filename
FROM news JOIN news_images 
ON news.news_title = news_images.news_title 
ORDER BY news_id DESC
LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1;

LIMIT number_of_rows OFFSET start_from

If you want 2 last rows use: LIMIT 2 .

EDIT: Your question is very unclear but try:

SELECT t.news_title, t.news_details, t.news_author, ni.filename
FROM (SELECT news_title, news_details, news_author
      FROM news
      ORDER BY news_id DESC
      LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1) AS t
JOIN news_images ni
  ON t.news_title = ni.news_title 

Answer 2

SELECT news.news_title, news.news_details, news.news_author, news_images.filename
FROM news JOIN news_images 
ON news.news_title = news_images.news_title 
ORDER BY news_id DESC
LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1;
