Answer 1

You haven't specified your SQL implementation, but something like this should work:

Note that the op didn't specifically ask to use max(), just to get the id, value at the max[imum] date.

TSQL:

select top 1 ID, Date, Value from yourtable order by Date DESC;

Not TSQL, has to support limit: (Not tested.)

select ID, Date, Value from yourtable order by Date DESC limit 1,1;
