How to find last record in a table?

Hey, gang.


I've been relying on a simple little statement that I THOUGHT would
show me the last record in a table. I found out today that it's
unreliable (returned records that were inserted on December 12 when
there were records from today).


Here's my statement...


select * from <table> where rowid = (select max(rowid) from <table>);



What do you guys do to find the last record in a table?



Thanks.
