Am assuming you want the last two records in a table all the time, and they correspond to the variables A, B. If you know the number of records in that table, via the count method, or a more efficient mechanism, then you can use the limitby statement to get the last two records.

|
total_records = #number of records in the test table - computed via count, or some other method
[A,B] =db().select(db.test.ALL, limitby(total_records - 3, 2)

Hi guys.

Let's assume the following table

|
db.define_table('test',Field('letter','double'))
|

How can I compare two 'letter' entries if for example

|
A=1.23
B=4.56
|

To get the last entry (B) I'll use

|
last_entry =db().select(db.test.ALL).last()
|

*But how do I get the entry before the last, in this case letter A?* The actual comparing will be done within index.html to check if B is greater or equal to A for example

|
{{ifB >=A:}}
<!--some html code-->
{{else:}}
<!--some html code-->
{{pass}}
