I have this table :
And I would like to make a request that would return for each deal_id
the row with the highest timestamp
, and the corresponding status_id
.
So for this example, I would have returned 2 rows :
1226, 3, 2009-08-18 12:10:25
1227, 2, 2009-08-17 14:31:25
I tried to do it with this query
SELECT deal_id, status_id, max(timestamp) FROM deal_status GROUP BY deal_id
but it would return the wrong status_id
:
1226, 1, 2009-08-18 12:10:25
1227, 1, 2009-08-17 14:31:25
without a single primary key field, I think your best bet is:
select * from deal_status
inner join
(select deal_id as did, max(timestamp) as ts
from deal_status group by deal_id) as ds
on deal_status.deal_id = ds.did and deal_status.timestamp = ds.ts
this still won't work if you allow having two different statuses for the same product at the same time
Hi i hope this gives what u want it
select deal_id,status_id, timestamp from deal_status
inner join
(select deal_id as did,max(timestamp) as ts
from deal_status group by deal_id )as ds
on deal_status.deal_id = ds.did and deal_status.timestamp = ds.ts order by deal_id
