SQL SELECT LAST

The last() function is used to return the last value of the specified column.

Syntax for SQL SELECT LAST() FUNCTION:

You should note that the last() function is only supported in MS Access. But there are ways to get the last record in MySql, SQL Server, Oracle etc. databases.

My SQL syntax:

SELECT column_name FROM table_name
ORDER BY column_name DESC
LIMIT 1;

SQL Server syntax:

SELECT TOP 1 column_name FROM table_name
ORDER BY column_name DESC;

Oracle syntax:

SELECT column_name FROM table_name 
ORDER BY column_name DESC
WHERE ROWNUM <=1;

Let us take the example of CUSTOMERS to examine SQL SELECT LAST command:

Table CUSTOMERS

CUSTOMER_NAME	AGE	ADDRESS	EXPENDITURE
KAMAL SHARMA	26	GHAZIABAD	6000
ROBERT PETT	23	NEWYORK	26000
SHIKHA SRIVASTAV	22	DELHI	9000

If you want to retrieve the last value of the "customer_name" column from the "customers" table, you need to write following query:

SELECT LAST (CUSTOMER_NAME) AS LAST_CUSTOMER FROM CUSTOMERS;
After that query, you will find the result:
SHIKHA SRIVASTAV
