You can get the last entry in a MySQL table using ORDER BY. The first approach is as follows:Case 1: Using DESC LIMITSELECT * FROM yourTableName ORDER BY yourColumnName DESC LIMIT 1;The second approach is as follows:Case 2: Using MAX()SET @anyVariableName = (SELECT MAX(yourColumnName) FROM yourTableName); SELECT *FROM yourtableName WHERE yourColumnName = @anyVariableName;Now to understand both the approaches, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows:mysql> create table lastEntryDemo    -> (    -> Id int NOt NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,    -> Name varchar(30),    -> Age int,    -> PRIMARY KEY(Id)    -> ); ...
