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

This is the most vanilla TSQL I can come up with

    SELECT * FROM DocumentStatusLogs D1 JOIN
    (
      SELECT
        DocumentID,MAX(DateCreated) AS MaxDate
      FROM
        DocumentStatusLogs
      GROUP BY
        DocumentID
    ) D2
    ON
      D2.DocumentID=D1.DocumentID
    AND
      D2.MaxDate=D1.DateCreated
