"plzz" is on vacation this week. Sort the result set descending and then get the top 25.

First you should have a column in Tables named as (Last_Updated or Recent_Visit) in datetime datatype.
That column should fill with datetime of the current timing Eg - Getdate()
Dont convert the datetime of getdate(), because you cant get latest one.

Query Below:

Select top 25 * from MyDB..MyTable with (Nolock) order by Recent_Visit desc

solution 1 will also give you the correct result but it will be a little slow in case of many records

here is an example

SQL

SELECT ORDERID, CUSTOMERID, OrderDate

FROM

(

SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY EmployeeID ORDER BY OrderDate DESC) AS OrderedDate,*

FROM Orders

) as ordlist

WHERE ordlist.OrderedDate <= 25

Solution 1

I assume that you are deciding latest 25 based on a date..

SQL

SELECT TOP 25* FROM TABLENAME order by DATECOLUMNNAME DESC
