Please do not suggest order by log_id desc I don't want to get in this way

     SELECT  *
       FROM log_customer
      WHERE customer_id = 2
        AND log_id = (Select Max(Log_id)
                        FROM log_Customer
                       WHERE customer_id = 2)

That should do the trick

Edit without the Where:

     SELECT  *
       FROM log_customer
      WHERE log_id = (Select Max(Log_id)
                        FROM log_Customer
                       WHERE customer_id = 2)

Maybe this way:

SELECT *
  FROM Log_Customer
 WHERE Customer_Id = 2
   AND Log_Id = (SELECT Max(Log_Id)
                   FROM Log_Customer
                  WHERE Customer_Id = 2)

A sub-select usually isn't bad as far as the execution plan is concerned.

select * from log_customer 
left join
(select max(log_id) as max_id from log_customer where customer_id=2) 
  as log_customer2
on log_customer.log_id=log_customer2.max_id
where log_customer.customer_id=2;

oh damn...

select * from log_customer where customer_id=2 order by log_id desc limit 1;
