I have the following records that I get from a query, the fields are date
type in day/month/year format:
-------------------------------------
Initial Final
Date Date
-------------------------------------
27/08/2012 04/09/2012
29/08/2012 09/09/2012
28/08/2012 09/09/2012
30/08/2012 09/09/2012
30/08/2012 09/09/2012
27/08/2012 09/09/2012
31/08/2012 09/09/2012
28/08/2012 10/09/2012
05/09/2012 16/09/2012
As you can see, this result is ordered by Final Date. What I need is to get
the last 5 records only. If I use the LIMIT 5 clause I get the first 5. I
have tried an ORDEY BY DESC but the result is the same. I will very much
appreciate your comments.
Respectfully,
Jorge Maldonado
