True, more would be helpful. But a unique identifier would serve the purpose
of deciding which was entered last which I believed he asked... but only he
could clarify that and since he's not responding with any input...  :)

you calling Jochem a wookie? hehe

I would expect in this case that having a primary key on the table he
described wouldn't change the sql syntax much (if at all). I still
like to have a primary key on these sorts of tables, but that's more
of a preference at that point. Though I might have also designed the
schema with two tables instead of one -- one table to contain the last
entry and a separate table to contain all historical entries. It's
hard to say without knowing more about the specifics of the app.
