Answer 1

for mysql Node.js developers especially

I was unable to get direct-value in mysql-driver for node.js i.e. when I run the following query

SELECT MAX(id) FROM Users

and I got the result as [RowDataPacket { MAX(id): 1 }]

I tried to retrieve the value from object console.log(MAX(id)), but I couldn't

so I set an alias i.e. maxid

SELECT MAX(id) as maxid FROM Users

and got it as [RowDataPacket { maxid: 1 }]

Which I can retrieve as console.log(maxid)

Answer 2

Try this:

    SELECT MAX(id),mid,userid,remarks 
    FROM sample WHERE id NOT IN  (
    SELECT MAX(id) FROM sample
    )
    GROUP BY mid,userid,remarks 

EDIT

See if this works

Answer 3

Select Id,mid,userid,remarks from sample Where id<(select max(Id) from sample)
order by id desc limit 1

Or

Select Id,mid,userid,remarks from sample 
order by id desc limit 1 offset 1
