Question

My requirement like this:

I have to fetch a row from table “A”. Now I have to loop through all the rows and get the values from the ID column. If I get ID = 5 then I want to execute some stored procedure through which I get the previous id row from some table “B”. Like

select * from table b where ID = 4

Buy my question is: if someone deleted that row from the database (e.g. some user deleted the rows with id 3 and 4) – then how can I get the row with id = 2 from the database?

Please give me some sql stored procedure to get previous id record from table.

Answer 1

The following query should get it for you:

select max(ID) from YourTable where ID < @YourID

@YourID is a variable containing your recently inserted ID
