How to limit records to only the last five results in MySQL
To fetch only the last five records below is the syntax −
select *from yourTableName order by yourColumnName DESC LIMIT 5;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable820( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, CustomerName varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable820(CustomerName) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable820(CustomerName) values('Robert');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable820(CustomerName) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable820(CustomerName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable820(CustomerName) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable820(CustomerName) values('Adam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable820;
This will produce the following output −
+----+--------------+ | Id | CustomerName | +----+--------------+ | 1 | Chris | | 2 | Robert | | 3 | David | | 4 | Bob | | 5 | Carol | | 6 | Adam | +----+--------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to limit records to only the last five results −
mysql> select *from DemoTable820 order by Id DESC LIMIT 5;
This will produce the following output −
+----+--------------+ | Id | CustomerName | +----+--------------+ | 6 | Adam | | 5 | Carol | | 4 | Bob | | 3 | David | | 2 | Robert | +----+--------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
