Re: mysql 4.0.2 preoblem
That's how dbs work. When rows are deleted, they reclaim that space when new rows are inserted. Hence, there is no last row (in fact, no order at all) unless you explicitly order the results in your select. That's what ORDER BY is for. Try SELECT autoinc_field, data_field FROM yourtable ORDER BY autoinc_field; By the way, if you are really using mysql 4.0.2, you should consider an upgrade. 4.0.2 is over 2 years old. The current version is 4.0.20, and there have been a lot of improvements and bug fixes since 4.0.2. Michael Cres Justado wrote: can anyone help me with my problem regarding mysql 4.0.2.

Re: mysql 4.0.2 preoblem
If you want them ordered by autoinc_field then add ORDER BY autoinc_field. Otherwise expect them to be returned in any order.
