MySQL: Get most recent record

Question

In the table below, how do I get just the most recent record of id=1 based on the signin column and not all 3 records?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. I needed to get the last version of page content translation, in other words - to get that specific record which has highest number in version column. So I select all records ordered by version and then take the first row from result (by using LIMIT clause).

SELECT *
FROM `page_contents_translations`
ORDER BY version DESC
LIMIT 1
