Sadly, AFAIK, there's no built-in way of retrieving the last-entered row of a table. It's a principle of relational databases that the order in which data is entered should not be significant.

If it is significant to your application, you'll have to write a database trigger to either timestamp or sequence-number each row as it is inserted.

Possibly the followunf query might help you
select * from x where rowid = (select
max(rowid) from x)
