Select last 3 rows from database order by id ASC?
You can use subquery. Following is the syntax −
SELECT * FROM ( SELECT * FROM yourTableName ORDER BY yourIdColumnName DESC LIMIT 3 ) anyAliasName ORDER BY yourIdColumnName;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( ClientId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, ClientName varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.60 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Larry'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Chris'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Bob'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('David'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Carol'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Robert'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+------------+ | ClientId | ClientName | +----------+------------+ | 1 | Larry | | 2 | Chris | | 3 | Bob | | 4 | David | | 5 | Carol | | 6 | Robert | | 7 | Sam | | 8 | Mike | +----------+------------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select last 3 rows from database order by id ASC −
mysql> SELECT * FROM ( SELECT * FROM DemoTable ORDER BY ClientId DESC LIMIT 3 ) tbl ORDER BY ClientId ASC;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+------------+ | ClientId | ClientName | +----------+------------+ | 6 | Robert | | 7 | Sam | | 8 | Mike | +----------+------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
