Get top 1 row of each group

Question

I have a table which I want to get the latest entry for each group. Here\'s the table:

DocumentStatusLogs Table

|ID| DocumentID | Status         


        

Answer 1

I believe this can be done just like this. This might need some tweaking but you can just select the max from the group.

These answers are overkill..

SELECT
  d.DocumentID,
  MAX(d.Status),
  MAX(d1.DateCreated)
FROM DocumentStatusLogs d, DocumentStatusLogs d1
USING(DocumentID)
GROUP BY d.DocumentID
ORDER BY DateCreated DESC
