How to access the last row of data and find out how many rows are in that database?
I have a database with one column that has 3 rows with numbers 1, 2, 3. I want to know how to access the last row of the database (which stores the number 3) and find out what number it stores (in this case the number 3). But the goal is so that when I add a new row to the database from aspx page, I will know which number comes next after the last row that is already in the database.
Also is there some way to find out how many rows in total the database currently stores. Because when the user is exiting my site I want to find out how many rows there are in total and then subtract 3 from that number and delete the rest. If there's a better way to do this, suggestions are welcome. Thanks

If the records have some kind of indentity/auto increment column, then you can just order by desc and SELECT TOP 1.
Also is there some way to find out how many rows in total the database currently stores.I again assume you mean total rows in a table. You can do SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE to get the number of records.

It sounds like your 1,2,3 columns should be an identity integer column. If you make the column an identity integer, then the database will put next number up in a new record.
You can use the MAX() function to et the max value in a column. Suppose the column is called Id, then:
DECLARE @MAXID INT
DECLARE @LOWID INT
DECLARE @KOUNT INT
SET @KOUNT = COUNT(*) FROM tableName
IF @KOUNT > 3 BEGIN
SET @MAXID = MAX(ID) FROM tableName
SET @LOWID = @MAXID - 3
SET @KOUNT = COUNT(*) FROM tableName WHERE Id > @LOWID
IF (@KOUNT = 3)
DELETE tableName WHERE Id <= @LowId
ENDTry the above!

Sorry I forgot to mention I was using Access database with C#. But I will try converting the above to C# and seeing if it works. Thanks a lot. The two things I used were the SELECT COUNT (*) FROM tablename -------> to get the total number of records in my table. I also used SELECT MAX (id_name) FROM tablename --------> to get the max value from my column. Thanks a lot.

Access GridView Row Data without cell access
Hello,I have a gridview that I modify before rendering to add custom separators between different entities. I compare the value in a particular cell with the previous value, and take action accordingly. Everything works great. However, I no longer want to display the 'entity' column in the actual gridview rows - only as a separator. So, if I remove the column from the gridview, how can I access a particular value on each row without calling a cell? Keep in mind, this takes place during the render stage and not gridRowBound. My render code is as follows: 1 Protected Overri...
