How to get the last row

I have 10 rows in my table and I have to retrive last row using rownum.
For this I use
SELECT * from <table_name>
where rownum<=10
minus
SELECT * from <table_name>
where rownum<=9
The result is no rows selected
In the same case if I use
SELECT rownum from <table_name>
Where rownum <= 10
minus
SELECT rownum from <table_name>
where rownum <=9
The result is 10
Why this happend.
If the result is 10, then why the row whose rowid is 10 is not retrived

All
Please bear in mind that ROWNUM is an attribute of the query NOT the table. The last row returned by an unORDERed SELECT statement may be the most recently inserted row but is not guaranteed to be so.
The only way of assuring yourself of returning the most recent row is either to timestamp all your tables with a date_created column or to use a primary key with an ascending value.

How to get the last row of a database table.

HI ,
I want to get record exactly from the last row of a database table.
How is that possible?

Hi,
To fetch last record from an internal table, just do find the number of records in it and read using index.
DESCRIBE TABLE ITAB LINES L_LINES.
READ TABLE ITAB INDEX L_LINES.
You can also use LOOP .. ENDLOOP but the above method is better (performance wise).
using LOOP .. ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT ITAB.
**do nothing
ENDLOOP.
**process ITAB (Header record of ITAB).
**after ENLOOP, ITAB will have the last record of the internal table.
[here ITAB is internal table as well as header record.]
But what is the requirement?
If you are looking for the current record of an employee then you can use ENDDA = HIGH_DATE.
My advice is to review your requirement again and try to fetch only that record which you need.

How to get the last row in a resultset or query

Hi All
Say If I have a complex query which returns a resultset say 15 rows. Now I want to limit the output showing only the last row.
How can we do this

Keep in mind Oracle does not keep "row" order as such. Unlike a graphical type db like Access, Oracle will not always give you back the results in order.
Even if you were to use a sequence, your query is never guaranteed to give back the results in the order you are expecting. You must then give an order by statement to all queries expecting the order.
Your definition of last row too is vague - if it is in fact the greatest amount, use the inline view suggestion. If you simply want to see the last inserted row, consider adding a last_update_date column inserting the sysdate (by a trigger perhaps). This would then allow you to see the last inserted row.
Enjoy!

I dont know what table names and fields you have but
say you have a table called XYZ which has a primary
key field called keyID.
So in order to get the last row inserted, you could
do something like
Select *
from XYZ
where keyID = (Select MAX(keyID) from XYZ);
Good Luckwhat gubloo said is correct ...But this is all in MS SQL Server I don't know the syntax and key words in MYSQL
This works fine if the emp_id is incremental and of type integer
Query:
select      *
from      employee e, (select max(emp_id) as emp_id from employee) z
where      e.emp_id = z.emp_id
or
select top 1 * from employee order by emp_id descUday

Hi, San,
Here's one way:
WITH     sample_data     AS
     SELECT DATE '2011-04-04'     AS dt
     FROM     dual
SELECT dt
,     TO_CHAR (dt, 'WW')     AS week_num
,     NEXT_DAY ( dt - 1
           , TO_CHAR ( TRUNC (dt, 'YEAR') - 1
                  , 'Day'
           )          AS end_o_week
FROM     sample_data;Another way is to use date arrithmetic:
WITH     sample_data     AS
     SELECT DATE '2011-04-09'     AS dt
     FROM     dual
SELECT dt
,     TO_CHAR (dt, 'WW')     AS week_num
,     TRUNC (dt, 'YEAR')
      + (7 * CEIL ( (dt - (TRUNC (dt, 'YEAR') - 1))
            / 7
      - 1               AS using_date_arithmetic
FROM     sample_data;

How to get the last day of a month?

HI,
I want to know how to get the last day of a month.
In my JClient form, I tried to get it by using oracle.sql.Date method, that is:
lastday=oracle.sql.Date anydate.lastDayOfMonth();
But it does not work. The result is lastday=anydate.
Why?
Stephen

You can use the Calender class...
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
and then something like...
c.add(c.MONTH, 1);
int dayOfMonth = c.get(Calender.MONTH);
c.add(c.DAY_OF_MONTH, - (dayOfMonth-1) );
other usefull functions are:
System.out.println(" YEAR : " + c.get(Calendar.YEAR));
System.out.println(" MONTH : " + c.get(Calendar.MONTH));
System.out.println(" DAY_OF_MONTH : " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
System.out.println(" DAY_OF_WEEK : " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK));
System.out.println(" DAY_OF_YEAR : " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR));
System.out.println(" WEEK_OF_YEAR : " + c.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR));
System.out.println(" WEEK_OF_MONTH : " + c.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH));
System.out.println(" DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH : " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH));
System.out.println(" HOUR : " + c.get(Calendar.HOUR));
System.out.println(" AM_PM : " + c.get(Calendar.AM_PM));
System.out.println(" HOUR_OF_DAY (24-hour): " + c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
System.out.println(" MINUTE : " + c.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
System.out.println(" SECOND : " + c.get(Calendar.SECOND));
System.out.println();*/

How to get the last day according to fiscal period input in selection scree

Hi,
when you give a particular date in any month
the following fm will give you the last date of that month
here you can give
R_FDATE-HIGH as 01 and month as the period you wnat and year for current year
concatenates '01' month year into r_fdate-high separated by '.'.
then it will give g_ltdt for that month and year which wil be the last date of that month
    CALL FUNCTION 'RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
      EXPORTING
        DAY_IN            = R_FDATE-HIGH
      IMPORTING
        LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH = G_LTDT
      EXCEPTIONS
        DAY_IN_NO_DATE    = 1
        OTHERS            = 2.

How to get the last error for while loop?

How to get the last error for while loop? I just want transfer the last error for while loop, but the program use the shift register shift all error every cycle.

What do you mean by "get" and "transfer"?
If the shift register is not what you want, use a plan tunnel instead.
Typically, programmers are interested in the first, not last, error.

How to get the last page SAP Script form

How to get the last page SAP Script form.
I want to print a specific information in the last page of SAP form (Script). Please tell me how to get the last page number.
Regards

Hi
You have to check the system variable &NEXTPAGE&, if it's 0 it means you're in the last page.
From SAP Help:
This symbol is used to print the number of the following page. The output format is the same as with &PAGE& .
Note that on the last page of the output, in each window that is not of type MAIN, &NEXTPAGE& has the value 0.

How to get the last transaction in a row in SQL Developer?

What syntax would I use to get the last transaction of a row in SQL developer?
The way I have my query set-up currently it is not returning the correct data, here is my current syntax:
select ssn, max(tran_id), chng_type,tran_id
from pda_tran
where ssn = 'xxx-xxx-0011'
and chng_type = 'C'
group by ssn, chng_type,tran_id;
It returns a 'C' chng_type but it is not the last one. when I query on this ssn this is what I get:
ssn tran_id chng_type
xxx-xxx-0011 001 A
xxx-xxx-0011 002 E
xxx-xxx-0011 003 C
xxx-xxx-0011 004 S
xxx-xxx-0011 005 C
xxx-xxx-0011 006 T
I only want to return the ssn's with a last transaction chng_type of 'C'. How can I get the correct information returned. Please advise.

From what I see and read... there is one to many group by

How to display the last row in a table

I have a table that is constantly updating, and I always want to see the last row. How can I get my table to auto scroll?

Hi žabić,
there is a property called "top left visible row". You can use it to scroll your table.
edit:
Maybe this is not the exact name, but you can see an example here
