Solution 3

To get the latest record at least you have A Unique Valued Column, which will help you to get latest row. here is syntax

SELECT TOP 1 * FROM table_Name ORDER BY unique_column DESC

If you have a primary key, pick up the last primary key (by using max on it).

My 5. Without comments/Feedback/Alternate Solution Down-Vote sounds rude. I too got one Down-Vote today for my valid answer(Surprisingly from the Unknown Member having high points).
