Get the second last row of a table in MySQL?
You need to use ORDER BY clause to get the second last row of a table in MySQL.
The syntax is as follows.
select *from yourTableName order by yourColumnName DESC LIMIT 1,1;
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows.
mysql> create table secondLastDemo -> ( -> StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> StudentName varchar(10) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.52 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command.
The query is as follows.
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Larry');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Sam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Maxwell');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Robert');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('James');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into secondLastDemo(StudentName) values('Ramit');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement.
The query is as follows.
mysql> select *from secondLastDemo;
The following is the output.
+-----------+-------------+ | StudentId | StudentName | +-----------+-------------+ | 1 | Larry | | 2 | Carol | | 3 | Bob | | 4 | Sam | | 5 | Mike | | 6 | David | | 7 | Maxwell | | 8 | Robert | | 9 | James | | 10 | Chris | | 11 | Ramit | +-----------+-------------+ 11 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to get the second last row of a table in MySQL.
mysql> select *from secondLastDemo order by StudentId DESC LIMIT 1,1;
The output displays the second last record.
+-----------+-------------+ | StudentId | StudentName | +-----------+-------------+ | 10 | Chris | +-----------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
