How to select the last three rows of a table in ascending order with MySQL?
To select the last three rows in ascending order, use ORDER BY DESC LIMIT as in the below syntax −
select * from (select * from yourTableName order by yourColumnName desc limit 3) anyAliasName order by yourColumnName ;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1579 -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> Name varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.67 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1579(Name) values('Robert');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.37 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1579(Name) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.48 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1579(Name) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1579(Name) values('Sam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1579(Name) values('Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1579;
This will produce the following output −
+----+--------+ | Id | Name | +----+--------+ | 1 | Robert | | 2 | Bob | | 3 | Chris | | 4 | Sam | | 5 | Mike | +----+--------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select the last three rows of a table in ascending order −
mysql> select * from -> (select * from DemoTable1579 order by Id desc limit 3) t -> order by Id;
This will produce the following output −
+----+-------+ | Id | Name | +----+-------+ | 3 | Chris | | 4 | Sam | | 5 | Mike | +----+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
