Hello,
Firstly, sorry for my english.
I have problem with creating SQL statement. I am beginner and I think that
it is very easy to do. Look -
I have to get only the last 20 records from table ABC (f.eg.) and according
to that how to create the SQL statement? F.eg. SELECT name, forename, date
FROM abc WHERE....
You know - how to finish the statement to get only 20 records lastly
inserted into the table?
Thanks and I am waiting for helpfull answers.

I'll take a stab at the easy answer.
If there is a timestamp or identity field on this table, you could do:
select top 20 name, etc.
from abc
order by x desc
where x would be the name of the timestamp or identity field.
Without one of those fields, it gets more difficult and I'll leave that
to other experts.

Hi siatki,
SQL Server won't automatically remember for you when rows were inserted.
You must have a column in your table for this, with smalldatetime or
datetime as datatype and a default of CURRENT_TIMESTA MP. See example
below:
CREATE TABLE abc
( ......
, ......
, InsertedAt smalldatetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTA MP
, .....
)
go
If you have such a column (or another column that provides a dependable
way to find in what order your rows were inserted), you can get the 20
most recent new rows with
SELECT TOP 20 Column1, Column2, ...., ColumnN
FROM abc
ORDER BY InsertedAt DESC
Best, Hugo

I have an input form for which I've created a "matrix" for user input.
Basically, the user chooses a radio button and then through javascript, a
select box is displayed to define a value for that radio option, like so:
Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box1)
Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box2)
Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box3)
Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box4)
Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box5)

I want to insert an option into a select.
I know you can do something like:
- Myselect.options = new Option('Hello 3');
but that doesn't do what I want because it overwrites an existing option.
I have the existing options ordered on alphabet and the new option should
fit in on the right place. Of course I can move all the options that come
after the new one, but I wondered if there is a smarter way to do this.

Trying to insert into a history table. Some columns will come from

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
