Getting the last inserted row by smalldatetime

[Normann]

I am creating a Stored Proc and I need to be able to select the last added row, now this should be made easier by the fact that I have a smalldatetime column in the table that is added every time a new row is inserted. I use MSSQL 2005 and the construction of the table is this:

CREATE TABLE temp_sensor_table
    (    
    temp_id Int Identity PRIMARY KEY,
    device_id Int NOT NULL
        REFERENCES Devices(device_id),
    temp_value NVARChar(10) NOT NULL,
    temp_date smalldatetime NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE()
    )
 

And the select statement that i have is this:

select temp_value 
from temp_sensor_table 
where device_id = @device_id_temp 
and temp_date = ???
 

The @device_id_temp is just an int that is selected in another select statement in the Stored Proc, what I need is the last part of the where statement.

;with Ordered(temp_value, Position) as
(
    select temp_value, Position = row_number() over(order by temp_date desc)
    from temp_sensor_table 
    where device_id = @device_id_temp 
)
select temp_value 
from Ordered 
where Position = 1

The select statement from above works perfectly, if it is on it's own but when I try to use it in the Stored Proc I get an error.

I think it is when I try to use it to set a parameter, but I might be wrong. I have include what I am trying to do, and I hope someone can spot what I am doing wrong.

Thank you very much for your help, it is working now
