Last record

Rails
1

hi @all

Can anyone help me? I would like to read the last two records from a
database. In the database I have a table with id, name and sex.

How can I read the last two records from the entered names, who are
female? There are two conditions I need:

last entries
sex-condition

User.find(:all, :condition…) ??

Well… you could add at created_at field to the table, then order by
that
and retrieve the last two rows.

User.find(:all, :order => ‘created_at desc’, :limit => 2)

-Jonathan.

@last_two_users = User.find(:all, :conditions => “sex-condition =
‘female’”, :order => “created_at DESC”)

assuming you are storing created_at time, right? If not, you could
order by “id DESC”.

That should do it.

How about this (not tested):

count = User.count(:conditions => “…”)
User.find(:all, :conditions => “…”, :limit => 2, :offset => count-2)
