I'm looking for some direction in writing a SELECT statement that will allow me to identify the three most recent records in a table-specifically their unique ID numbers.
Because the records may not be continuous or sequential due to a record being deleted from the table in another part of the app.I can not do something simple like order the statement by DESC and then grab the largest ID.and subtract 1 and 2 from that number to get the three ID's I'm looking for.
I would like to embed an include that fetches the top 3 or 5 most recent topics on my message boards and have them show up on my home page or any other page. They would be linked to that topic discussion. If you look at the bottom of SitePoint.com it would be like that include. I'm using the Snitz Forums on my site if that helps. Is there an easy way to do that?
View Replies View RelatedI'm using SQL to pull records from our db but my query is returning all results in the db table and I only want the most recent entry. There is a date_time column in the format MMDDYYYY HH:MM:SS and I'm using that to order by then writing only the first line which works, but is very slow since there are a lot of records to go through.
What I'm looking for is a way to only retrieve that most recent record instead of pulling them all, then ordering them. Would I be able to use the MAX function for something like this? Does MAX work with a date_time field?
We log hundreds of SQL injection attempts per day -- the type with
CAST(0x44004500... AS VARCHAR(4000)). It amuses me that the last thing the
attack does is DEALLOCATE its cursor. My SQL Server DBA tells me this makes
no difference. So...
Are these hackers cargo cultists? Or am I missing something?

Here is file where user fill his information and attach his CV....
The problem concerns 2 tables, cart_products and cart_shoppingcart.
Cart_products contains all the product data (eg, prices, product's key name, etc), but most importantly, it contains the quantity of stock (prod_quantity) for each item.
cart_shoppingcart contains all of the user's items in their shoppingcart, including those that are part of an (customer) order; these have the order_number to differentiate from those that aren't in any order (their Order_number is 'no_order', the others have the order number).
Now, what I want to do is this:
For every item in the order (ie, every entry in cart_shoppingcart that matches the username and order number), take the quantity (x) the customer is ordering, then take the quantity of stock remaining (y), then subtract x from y to create the new stock level (z) and update the appropriate record in cart_products with z (all this with SQl preferably).
I was thinking of using a Do while loop, but realised that it wouldn't work as I'd have to use several SQL statements and then I'd run into a problem the minute ASP reads "objrec.movenext".
I'm trying to pull the last 5 records from my database.
<% j=5
rs.MoveLast
While ((j>0) AND (NOT rs_article.BOF))%>
''Execute HTML and data insertion here
<%rs_article.MovePrevious
j=j-1
Wend%>
Everytime I attempt to run this code, I recieve an HTTP 500- Internal Server Error. It tells me no more than that. I know that my connection settings are OK because when I move forward through the database (first five records), the code executes without error. And yes, my Cursor type is Dynamic.
Alternatively, I would also like to know how to add new recordset to the beginning of a database rather than the end.

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '3 FROM rangliste ORDER BY Oakies desc' at line 1

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the records stored in an Access 2002 database to log users into an ASP.net page? I'm trying to code it in vb.net but im not sure how it could be done. Basically I think I need 2 text boxes on the ASP page where the user can enter their name and password.
I then somehow need to retrieve the name and password from fields in the database (using ADO.net i think) and compare them with those entered by the user. If they match then I want to load another page, and if not then I want to display a message saying login details are incorrect.
Any help on this subject would be much appreciated- the fields i have at the moment are called 'User' and 'Password' in a table called PERSON.
