Select Max(ID) where ID<5
Does that work for you?

ChandraRam is correct, but you can use this query too:
select top 1 id from tablename where id < 5 order by id desc

Have you tried SSIS?

Please tell me how to add a database created in sql server database which is stored in default folder of Microsoft SQL Server to a my folder(created by me)?
|
|
|
|
|
Do you mean you want to move the data files for an existing database to a different location?
Detach the database (right-click it in Management Studio or Enterprise Manager and click Detach), make a note of the security settings on the files, move them, check that the same users have permission to read and write the files, and then re-attach the database (this option is named Attach on the server's context menu).

I have found a potential problem which may get some people stuck when they have customised their Regional Settings. Too short to submit as an Article. Moderators please do with it what is best.
I live in South Africa. PC set up for English (South Africa).
The problem is, Microsoft says that in South Africa we write our dates as MM/dd/yyyy, when in fact we (ordinary people) use dd/MM/yyyy.
So in Reqional Settings we use Customise and change our Short Date format to dd/MM/yyyy.
Everything works fine if you use datasets to update a table, as the data is already a DateTime. But when you use an INSERT INTO command a problem comes up because the DateTime needs to be placed between single-quotes:
"INSERT INTO (column) VALUES('" + myDate + "')"
In our case, this converts to:
"INSERT INTO (column) VALUES('dd/MM/yyyy')"
But the server is expecting:
"INSERT INTO (column) VALUES('MM/dd/yyyy')" because this is the default short-date format for South Africa.
So the following must be used:
"INSERT INTO (column) VALUES('" + myDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") + "')"
This converts to:
"INSERT INTO (column) VALUES('MM/dd/yyyy')" which is what the server is expecting.
This problem will arise with any Customisations made, including separators. myDate.ToString() must specify the exact format the server is expecting.

If needing to parse in date information like that (and you can't use parameterized as suggested by the previous poster), use the ISO format and it should be okay on all regional settings.
Of course there'll be problems if the regional settings are different from what you feed any conversion with. How else do you think it should know whether the date 04/05/2008 means either 4th May or 5th April. How else will you know whether numbers use decimal point period or comma etc.
That is the "problem" with conversions between regions.

This line holds the problem. You wil need to create a dynamic query to display values.
