Select previous row mysql?

Question

If I have a mysql table which had primary ids and another field called gameScore can I do something along the lines of...

SELECT gameScore FROM table1 WHERE id =         


        

Answer 1

Something like this -

SELECT t1.* FROM table1 t1
  JOIN (
    SELECT id, MAX(gameScore) gameScore FROM table1
      WHERE id = 100 AND gameScore < 50 ORDER BY gameScore
  ) t2
    On t1.id = t2.id AND t1.gameScore = t2.gameScore

To find previous record we need to select exact current record, in example it is a record with id = 100 and gameScore = 50.
