Postgres Date Functions

Afternoon,

Here's a thorny problem:

Given I have a field called entrydate and is set to type datetime, what is
the best way to pull the latest entry into that record basing the query off
of entrydate?

Currently I am using something like:

Select * from tblApplication order by EntryDate desc

That query pulls all the records. I wish to pull only one.

Thanks,

-Rob

 Select * from tblApplication order by EntryDate desc LIMIT 1

should work
