I want to delete last record where product ID and userID are specified.

my current code is

delete top (1) from ShoppingBasket where productID=1 AND userID='admin'

but this deletes the first not the last record, and using 'order by desc' does not work.

Here is an alternative but I like wizardzz solution best. This basically an expansion of wizzardzz solution and may be easier to understand!

SQL

DELETE  FROM shoppingBasket
WHERE   ID IN (SELECT TOP 1
                      ID
               FROM   shoppingBasket
               WHERE  ProductID = 1
                      AND UserID = 'Admin'
               ORDER BY ID DESC)
