Hi,
Try something like this:
select * from (select * from table_name where ... order by last_update desc
limit 10) as tbl order by tbl.last_update;

Subject: Select Last X rows
Hi folks.
Just wanting to know the best way to grab the last 10 rows from a table.
Looking twice to the db to see how many records there are will be
outdated by the time the SELECT is done, so it's moot. This is a fast
moving db with records coming and going.
Instead of having an offset in LIMIT, is there a way to ask for the last
10 rows directly?
Cheers
Rich in Toronto
