Mysql - Laravel : Get Last Row of table without fetching all data -

i using laravel , need retrieve last row of table. i'm using code below apparently getting whole table , looping last element . become issue if table huge.

$result = table::orderby('created_at', 'desc')->first(); 

is there better , more efficient way last row : eloquent or sql query.

thanks

your current laravel query 1 way find recent row of database. mentioned @vladatr corresponds following raw mysql query:

select * yourtable order created_at desc limit 1 

to answer question, 1 way speed query @ mysql level add index on created_at column. index, if used optimizer, should speed sorting operation needed find recent record.
