Last Inserted Row in a Table

Hi,
I want to select only the last inserted row in a table. Can anybody help me how can i get it.
Eg
select * from emp;
empno ename sal
12 abc 100
13 xyz 200
Now i have inserted a row as
Insert into emp values (14,'Rohit',500);
So i only want to select the last inserted row i.e.. empno 14 (in this case).
Thanks

Thanks to all for replying.
But the result is not which i desire.
I have deleted the existing row in the same table as
SQL> Delete from emp where empno = 13;
1 row deleted.
Then i inserted a new row as
SQL> insert into emp values(10,'SRI',200);
1 row created.
Then i committed the work
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
But still am getting the last row as
SQL> select * from emp
where rowid=(select max(rowid)
from emp);
EMPNO ENAME SAL
14 ROHIT 500
as the solution.
But here i am supposed to get the row with empno 10.
I have tried both the queries and still geting the same result.
Please look aat it again,
Thanks in advance

  • How to get the last inserted record from a table ?

    :-) Hiee E'body
    I work on Oracle 8i and need to get the last
    record inserted in a table.
    I have tried using rownum and rowid pseudo-columns
    but that doesn't work.
    Can you please help me out ?

    I'm not sure about 8i features.
    I assume here that you don't have 'Date-Time' stamp columns on the table which is the easiest way to determine the last inserted row in the table.
    If not try the following :-
    select address, piece, SQL_TEXT
    from V$SQLTEXT
    where upper(sql_text) like '%INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME%'
    Substiute the TABLE_NAME with the name of the actual table.
    Have fun.

  • How to: Display Last n Rows in a table

    I am currently running Crystal Reports XI and have been tasked with developing a report that displays only the last 30 rows in a table in ascending order (the records are used for showing data trends over time in a line graph). I have created a Command to extract the records, and by using the TOP 30 statement I can get the first 30 rows in proper order; however, in order to get the last 30 rows I have to sort the records in descending order. This gives me the last 30 rows that I need, but the data is in descending order. Is there another way to get the last 30 rows in a table so that the records come out in ascending order?
    The Command I am using looks like this:
    SELECT TOP 30 ROWID FROM MYTABLE ORDER BY ROWID DESC
    (The ROWID field is alpha numeric)

    Hi,
    Create a Group based on Rowid in the order-Ascending. This Group should contain all the fields that you require to print along with Rowid.  Therafter insert Summary like sum,count etc for for any field within the group of the type numbervar(numeric). This would activate the Group Sort Expert in the Report Menu. Click on it and select Bottom N (with N as 30) within nature of Sort and suppy the fieldname as Rowid.
    Hope this solves.....
    Thanks,

  • Retrive last inserted  record  from database table

    Hi,
    some body inserting a record into table 'A' through some procedure/java program.i want to retrive the last inserted record from database table.records are not stored in order.Can any body help me.

    In general, unless you are storing a timestamp as part of the row or you have some sort of auditing in place, Oracle has no idea what the "first" or "last" record in a table is. Nor does it track when a row was inserted.
    - If you have the archived logs from the point in time when the row was inserted, you could use LogMiner to find the timestamp
    - If the insert happened recently (i.e. within hours), you may be able to use flashback query to get the value
    - If you're on 10g or later and the table was built with ROWDEPENDENCIES and the insert happened in the last few days and you can deal with a granularity of a few seconds and you don't need 100% accuracy, you could get the ORA_ROWSCN of the row and convert that to a timestamp.
    If this is something you contemplate needing, you need to store the data in the row or set up some sort of auditing.

  • Getting the last inserted row

    Hi
    I want to get the ID for the last inserted row in another view (not the ones I have in my page), to pass it to a web service. How can I get it?
    This returns the first ID in the table: ${bindings.myIterator.RequestId}
    This one doesn’t work either: ${bindings.myIterator.currentRow.RequestId}
    It shows the following exception
    1. JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.RuntimeException, msg=javax.servlet.jsp.el.ELException: Unable to find a value for "RequestId" in object of class "model.Travel_ViewRowImpl" using operator "."
    2. javax.servlet.jsp.el.ELException: Unable to find a value for "RequestId" in object of class "model.Travel_ViewRowImpl" using operator "."
    What does ${bindings.myIterator.currentRow.dataProvider} returns?

    Hi,
    while this is close to the correct syntax it is not complete
    ${bindings.myIterator.currentRow.RequestId}
    this would attempt to call set/get RequestId on the Row class, which doesn't have this property. It has a property getAttribute() but this doesn't allow you to pass an argumentbecause of EL limitations.
    Work around: Create an attribute binding for the "RequestId" attribute and call it with
    #{bindings.RequestId.inputValue}
    ADF always ensures that the currentRow's RequestId is the one obtained from the Attribute binding

  • Error while inserting rows in a table

    Hi,
    We have recently migrated from 9i to 10g. We have a scheduled job out our DB which first deletes all the rows from a table and then inserts them back by selecting rows from 5 tables. This table has a composite primary key based on 6 columns in it. In 9i, when i try to insert rows into the table after deleting all the rows from it, I am able to insert the data successfully . However, in 10g, when i try doing the same operation, it fails with the ORA error:
    ORA-00001: unique constraint violated
    The same query which works perfectly in 9i fails in 10g
    If anybody has some ideas on how to resolve the same, kindly let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I was finally able to resolve the reason behind that error message and found it even more weird. The error was because I was using the substr function for extracting the characters 1-4 from a column which is 5 characters long. When i specify the query as:
    select substr(column1, 1, 4)) from table1;
    only the characters 1-3 are retrieved. Now if i change the query to select substr(column1, 1, 5)) from table1, in that case also only 3 characters are retrieved although i have specified the substr to start from 1 and read till 5 characters. Also, when i run the query:
    select length(substr(column1, 1, 4)) from table1 or select length(substr(column1, 1, 5)) from table1
    I get the answer as 3.
    However, the most amazing part is that the query is working perfectly in 9i and is retrieving the data correctly i.e. from substr 1-4.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem could be?
    Thanks

  • Help in inserting rows into a table

    I have a table called acct_fact,
    I need to insert rows in the table using a script but the problem is there's a column called seq_nbr which has random seq nbr of 14character length like 'ZWX98MGD9MVAD6J','ZWX98MG67RVAD6J' etc.,
    While inserting rows I need to generate such seq_nbr for those columns and insert rows into the table, can I use any such mechanism in my insert query to insert such random nbr's while inserting rows into a table.
    If so please suggest me

    Hi Peter,
    Thankyou for the quick reply:)
    can you suggest me how to implement it here in my script snippet:
    while read var_acct_nbr
    do
    echo "update acct_attr set acct_attr_exp_dt ='$ExpDate' where Acct_Attr_Value_Text='15' and acct_attr_exp_dt is null and person_id='LDCarrBillAgrm' and acct_nbr='$var_acct_nbr' ;" >> ./$DirectoryName/SQLQuery_$TimeStamp.sql
    echo "insert into acct_fact values ('$var_acct_nbr','$ExpDate','$ExpTime','*seq_nbr*','N','ProjTereza','Remoção de acordo d; data de expiração: $ExpDate',null,'1','LDE',null);" >> ./$DirectoryName/SQLQuery_$TimeStamp.sql
    done < ./$DirectoryName/ExpireAccts_$TimeStamp.LOG
    the script takes each acct_nbr nbr form a input file and fires an insert statement.
    The one in bold is the column where such sequence need to be inserted.can you help me in implementing the way you suggested in my script i.e., insert statement
    Thanks in Advance:)

  • How to fetch last inserted row in MySQL

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the last inserted row in MySql..but not able to fetch it.
    this is what i used
    i have one column order_id which is auto_increment
    SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE order_id=(SELECT MAX(order_id) FROM tablename)
    any help is appreciated .
    the usage of lastinsert() method is also not successful
    chintan

    Hello
    Given you have a date column, you can use it to determine the latest row. However, there is still a chance that two rows were inserted at exactly the same time in which case you will need something in addition to your date column to decide which is the latest...
    The first option uses a sub query and the second uses analytics, as does the 3rd - however with the 3rd, if 2 rows have exactly the same date and time, it will pick one at random unless you include another column in the order by to determine the latest...
    select
    FROM
        your_table
    WHERE
        your_date_column = (SELECT MAX(your_date_column) from your_table)
    SELECT
    FROM
            select
                a.*,
                MAX(your_date_column) OVER() max_date_column
            FROM
                your_table a
    WHERE
        your_date_column = max_date_column
    SELECT
    FROM
            select
                a.*,
                ROW_NUMBER OVER(ORDER BY your_date_column DESC) rn
            FROM

  • How to find last inserted record in the table.

    I have a table called "Manufacture" and 3 columns as mfno,itemname,quantity.
    How to find last inserted record in the table "Manufacture".
    As i come to know that Rowid is not result perfect results. Please provide your inputs.

    How to find last inserted record in the table "Manufacture".Not possible as your data model does not cater for it. That simple.
    If there is a need to determine some order or associate some time to an entity, then that should be part of the data model - and a relationship, or one or more attributes are needed to represent that information. Thus your data model in this case is unable to meet your requirements.
    If the requirements are valid, fix the data model. In other words - your question has nothing to do with Oracle and nothing to do with rowid, rowscn or other pseudo columns in Oracle. It is a pure data modeling issue. Nothing more.

  • Adding 2 more rows to a select without inserting rows to base table

    hello all,
    i have a below simple select statement which is querying a table.
    select * from STUDY_SCHED_INTERVAL_TEMP
    where STUDY_KEY = 1063;
    but here is the situations. As you can see its returning 7 rows. But i need to add
    2 more rows..with everything else default value or what exist... except adding 2 more rows.
    i cannot insert into base table. I want my end results to increment by 2 days in
    measurement_date_Taken to 01-apr-09....so basically measurement_date_taken should
    end at study_end_Date...
    IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT INSERTING ROWS INTO THE TABLE AND JUST PLAYIHY AROUND WITH
    THE SELECT STATEMENT??
    sorry if this is confusing...i am on 10.2.0.3

    Well, I'm not sure if this query looks as good as my lawn, but seems to work anyway ;)
    I've used the 'simplified version', but the principle should work for your table to, S2K.
    As Frank already pointed out (and I stumbled upon it while clunging): you just select your already existing rows and union them with the 'missing records', you calculate the number of days you're 'missing' based on the study_end_date:

  • Rownum and last inserted row !!!!!!!!!!!!

    hi everybody,
    I am at present using oracle 8i Release 2. According to my knowledge and "Oracle 8 complete reference", when we use ROWNUM, the rownum is decided when the data is selected from the database. So when we use "order by" clause actually the rownum gets jumbled up.
    But to my surprise when i did something like this on my SQl prompt row num is acting very "innocent" :)
    <Code>
    1* select rownum, empno from emp
    SQL> /
    ROWNUM EMPNO
    1 7369
    2 7499
    3 7521
    4 7566
    5 7654
    6 7698
    7 7782
    8 7788
    9 7839
    10 7844
    11 7876
    12 7900
    13 7902
    14 7934
    15 1
    15 rows selected.
    SQL> select rownum, empno from emp order by empno;
    ROWNUM EMPNO
    1 1
    2 7369
    3 7499
    4 7521
    5 7566
    6 7654
    7 7698
    8 7782
    9 7788
    10 7839
    11 7844
    12 7876
    13 7900
    14 7902
    15 7934
    15 rows selected.
    </Code>
    As you can see rownum is ordered again .. m i missing something.
    B)
    Is it possible to get a row that was inserted last. Does oracle guarantee that data retrieval will be according to the time of inssertion !!
    Thanx in advance

    Rownum is decided afeter the complete execution of ur SQL statment (it includes ordey by, group by, where etc.).
    you can get the last inserted row using:
    select * from emp where rowid=
    (select max(rowid) from emp);

  • Insert row in a table (not ALV)

    Hi there,
    i know, i can insert a row in a table in 3 steps:
    1. get_static_attributes_table
    2. insert line into table
    3. bind_table
    Is there another way possible maybe one without reading the whole table?

    Hello,
    If your requirement is to add a row to the TABLE i.e. adding a context element to the context node which is bound to the TABLE, then you can do the following:
    DATA lo_nd_scarr TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA lo_el_scarr TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
    lo_nd_scarr = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_scarr )."get the reference to the context node
    lo_el_scarr = lo_nd_scarr->create_element( ). "create a context element
    lo_el_scarr->set_attribute( name = 'attr_name' value = 'attr_value') "set the attributes
    lo_nd_scarr->bind_element(
    new_item = lo_el_scarr
    set_initial_elements = abap_false ). "bind the created element to the context node
    Hope this helps!
