I’m wondering if it is possible to find all new rows in a table that were added in the last week if the table has no date column to signify when a given row was inserted into the table?
If so, can someone please advise me on how to accomplish this?
Or do I require a date column?
Thanks
Your best option is a timestamp, then you can select any particular period.
Alternatives would be an autoincrement field and you record the last number of the previous wee.
Or you have a status field that defaults to “NEW” and then you set it to “OLD” or whatever once you have processed it.
