thankx guys

but

still there is a problem

User.find(:all, :order => ‘id DESC’, :limit=>1)

and

Model.find(:last)

both return “#” mark only. whats the reson? i want last index id

ok then say

lst_id = Model.find(:last).id puts lst_id.inspect

hope 'll get this

as Model.find_last retunrns the entire last record
