        Hit count: 170
        
I have a huge table that is mainly used for backup and administrative purposes. The only records that matters is the last inserted record.
On every hit to order by time inserted is just too slow. I want keep a separate table with the last inserted id.
In PHP I now insert, get last inserted id, and update the other table.
Is there a more efficient way to do this.
