MySQL - Select the last inserted row easiest way

Question

I simply need to select the last entered row specified by condition, e.g:

SELECT ID from bugs WHERE user=Me

I need to return only the very

Answer 1

One way to accomplish that is to order you records and limit to 1. For example if you have the following table ('data').

    id | user | price
   -------------------
    1  |  me  | 40.23
    2  |  me  | 10.23

Try the following sql query

  select * from data where user='me' order by id desc limit 1

Answer 2

SELECT * FROM `table_name` 
ORDER BY `table_name`.`column_name` DESC
LIMIT 1 

Answer 3

MySqlCommand insert_meal = new MySqlCommand("INSERT INTO meals_category(Id, Name, price, added_by, added_date) VALUES ('GTX-00145', 'Lunch', '23.55', 'User:Username', '2020-10-26')", conn);
if (insert_meal .ExecuteNonQuery() == 1)
{
    long Last_inserted_id = insert_meal.LastInsertedId;
    MessageBox.Show(msg, "Success", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Failed to save meal");
            }

Answer 4

It would be best to have a TIMESTAMP column that defaults to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP .. it is the only true predictive behavior you can find here.

The second-best thing you can do is ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1 and hope the newest ID is the largest value.

Answer 5

In concurrency, the latest record may not be the record you just entered. It may better to get the latest record using the primary key.

If it is a auto increment field, use SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(); to get the id you just created.

Answer 6

SELECT MAX(ID) from bugs WHERE user=Me
