Need last 100 records...
Is there a nifty way to select just that last 100 records with MySQL? In Oracle I use Maxrows and date to accomplish this. Can¹t seem to figure this out with MySQL. Please advise! Thank you! Mark

Re: Need last 100 records...
SELECT * from table ORDER BY column DESC, LIMIT 100 This will get the last 100 in descending order. If you have a date field you can use a WHERE clause with ORDER BY date field with the LIMIT parameter to achieve an ascending order. I hope this helps.
