which is, of course, the problem with that question.

As long as you're not messing about with the way SQLite does things, using the

SELECT ... ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1

form is as good an answer as any.

By the way, I don't think anyone has mentioned either

SELECT last_insert_rowid() FROM myTable

or the

sqlite3_int64 sqlite3_last_insert_rowid(sqlite3*)

C function yet.
