Hello All, Is it possible to do nested select statements with MySQL ? Basically I'm trying to display the last 5 rows that got inserted into a table. My SQL query looks like this:
select * from tablename limit ((select count(*) from tablename) - 5), -1; In theory it works for me :) but MySQL complains. Is it possible to do nested queries with MySQL ? Does anyone have a better way of displaying the last x amount of rows inserted into a table ? Thanks in advance... -Pete Peter Vertes Beast Financial Systems 404 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10018 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
