Not Clear. Tagged VB but question is for SQL Query.
Last record set means?
SQL Database means? SQL Server or MySQL or ??

Solution 1

Use Last()
SELECT LAST(column_name) FROM table_name;
But the LAST() function is only supported in MS Access, hence you can do something like this-

SQL Server

SELECT TOP 1 column_name FROM table_name<br />
ORDER BY column_name DESC;

MySQL

SELECT CustomerName FROM Customers<br />
ORDER BY CustomerID DESC<br />
LIMIT 1;
