I have an SQL Query as below:
SELECT * FROM `mytable` WHERE 'myfield' = false
How can I select the latest x entries, for example the latest 10?
How would I need to format that in SQL?
Unless you have some field in that table which represents time of insertion/update, you can’t do it. You need something like that in order to add an
ORDER BY... LIMIT 10clause. Another option would be to have a numeric field with anAUTO_INCREMENTproperty (maybe the primary key ?).The RDBMS is under no obligation to return the rows in a specific order (and it is wrong to rely on it), UNLESS you specify it explicitly.
