Question

I have a row in my db table that is datetime. How can i write a query to only all rows except one (the most recent).

I would have used

ORDER BY col_name DESC LIMIT 1

if i was choosing only the most recent.. but i actually require all but the most recent.

Thanks

Just select all rows but the first:

ORDER BY col_name DESC LIMIT 1, 18446744073709551615

See 13.2.9. SELECT Syntax which explains the LIMIT clause.
