How can I setup a query to select from a database ONLY the last 5 inserted rows. OR atleast the last 5 starting from this date back, but only select the last 5 in order. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate them. Thanks, Tony
I would set up a timestamp column in the table then select ordered by the timstamp descending and limit to 5. -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
