Question

I have the following SQL statement

SELECT [Motor]
      ,[Time]
  FROM [logger].[dbo].[motor]
  WHERE day([Time]) = day(getdate())
  ORDER BY [TIME]

This is a very basic table that gives me the status of a motor at a given time.

All I want is a select statement that will give me the latest result if possible. I can get it so it gives all of today’s results but if I could get it so that it only displays the latest result that would be great.

Answer 1

SELECT TOP(1) [Motor] ,[Time] 
FROM [logger].[dbo].[motor] 
WHERE day([Time]) = day(getdate()) 
ORDER BY [TIME] DESC
