I did search around and I found this
SQL selecting rows by most recent date
Which is so close to what I want but I can\'t seem to make it work.
I get an error Column \'I
Select ID,Name, Price,Date
From temp t1
where date = (select max(date) from temp where t1.name =temp.name)
order by date desc
Here is a SQL Fiddle with a demo of the above
Or as Conrad points out you can use an INNER JOIN (another SQL Fiddle with a demo) :
SELECT t1.ID, t1.Name, t1.Price, t1.Date
FROM temp t1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT Max(date) date, name
FROM temp
GROUP BY name
) AS t2
ON t1.name = t2.name
AND t1.date = t2.date
ORDER BY date DESC
