can anyone tell me how can i get the last id(primary key) of the table

i don't know if i understand correctly what you want to do, but you could just type: YourObjectName.last

3

oh forgot to ask for id: YourObjectName.last.id

4

If you want only the id of the last entered data then try this, User.maximum('id') This will return the maximum id which will be anyways the last one.
