My purpose is to delete all messages but the last 10 written.
Im i have tried in many ways but it seems to be harder to delete data than put in data.
Heres my code i hope you answer quickly and correct.

A little bit of my mysql.java file

This assumes your ID and row numbers are one and the same which is not an assumption you can make with relational databases.

A different approach would be to select all the ids in descending order, get the first ten then delete from the table where the row id is not in this list.

Normally every table have primary key OR foreign key.If your table also have primary key then you can take last primary key & can easily delete all records except last 10 like this way:

Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select PrimayID from beskeder order by id desc");

int rowCount = 0;
while (rset.next()){
rowCount = PrimayID;
out.print ("" + rset.getString("nick") + ": " + rset.getString("msg") + "
\n");
}

int maxMsg = 10;
int max = (rowCount-maxMsg);

PreparedStatement del = null;
del = conn.prepareStatement("DELETE FROM beskeder WHERE PrimayID <= '" + max + "'");

del.executeUpdate();

stmt.close();
del.close();

This is wrong. Database implementations don't mandate either on a table and they are not mutualy exclusive. A table should contain a primary key and may contain one or more foreign key fields.

Your example is making the same mistake as Carsten made in his original code; primary key != row id.

Please read this and this.

Your solution is almost there and should work most of the time, but be aware unless you are assigning your primary key to keep them sequential (and recreating records should you ever delete anything) it will fail some of the time.
