Question

My database is setup like this

vid    title
 1     test
 2     test
 1     test2
 3     test
 4     test
 1     test3
 5     test
 6     test

Point is to get the previous version of something while deleting the last one. So I want to delete version 6 of test and get the previous version of it, which will be version 5. What is the PHP/MySQL-syntax for this?

Answer 1

DELETE FROM tbl WHERE title='test' ORDER BY vid DESC LIMIT 1;
SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE title='test' ORDER BY vid DESC LIMIT 1;
