I just want to view recently added 100 records,
how can i do that I tried with
select top 100 * from Mydata
But which is not giving me recently added records

Answer 1

For TOP 100 * to work as you desire, you need to specify the order in which to return the records. Use the example below and replace [YourField] with whatever column determines the order in which the records were inserted.

SELECT TOP 100 *
FROM       Mydata
ORDER BY   [YourField] DESC --Could be the date added column, or the primary key.
