To retrieve data with the latest date, we can use the following SQL query:

SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY datecolumn DESC LIMIT 1;

Explanation:

  • table_name: The name of the table from which we want to retrieve data.
  • date_column: The name of the column that contains the date we want to use for sorting.
  • DESC: Sorting the results in descending order, which means that the latest date will be at the top.
  • LIMIT 1: Specifying that we only want to retrieve the top row, which will contain the latest date.

This query will return the row that contains the latest date in the specified column.
