How to get the last row of an Oracle a table

Question

I want to get the last row, which I inserted into a table in an Oracle 11g Express database. How can I do this?

Answer 1

$sql = "INSERT INTO table_name( field1, field2 )  VALUES ('foo','bar') 
        RETURNING ID INTO :mylastid";
$stmt = oci_parse($db, $sql);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, "mylastid", $last_id, 8, SQLT_INT);
oci_execute($stmt);

echo "last inserted id is:".$last_id;

Tip: you have to use your id column name in {your_id_col_name} below...

"RETURNING {your_id_col_name} INTO :mylastid"
