Hi,
What do you exactly mean by

Actually, you have to arrange the rows using 'ORDER BY' clause as you want them and then select them.
Please refer to following SQL statements.
SELECE column_name FROM table_name
WHERE column_name = VALUE
ORDER BY column_name DESC
Use ASC/DESC for ascending/descending.
Do search on the forum for more results.

hi pankajupadhyay
You can use the below query also,
| Code: |
SELECE column_name FROM table_name
WHERE column_name = VALUE
ORDER BY column_name DESC
FETCH First 5 rows only; |
Thanks

pankajupadhyay,
Order By clause can only help if the column values of the column in question is generated sequentially or timestamp. Please specify clearly how is column values generated for which you want the last 5 rows, i.e. how do specify a row in the table to be the last or first.
Thanks

Hello,
What is your definition of the "last" row?
In a sequential file, the last record is easily defined, but your questin is not about a sequential file. |
