Question

I have a simple articles table and want to select the lowest ID from the last 10 records. For example if there are 11 ids, the resulted id should be 2 and if there are 10 ids the resulted id should be 1 and so on.

I tried the following query on a table with 11 ids and it’s outputting 1 while it should output 2

SELECT MIN(id) FROM kisses ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10

Thanks

You can use a subquery and then use the MIN:

SELECT MIN(ID) 
FROM (SELECT ID
   FROM Articles
   ORDER BY ID DESC
   LIMIT 10
) t

Here is the SQL Fiddle.

How about this, even easier:

SELECT ID
   FROM Articles
   ORDER BY ID DESC
   LIMIT 9,1

Good luck.
