how to get latest record or record with max corresponding date of all distinct values in a column in mysql?

Question

For Example, I have table like this:

Date      | Id | Total
-----------------------
2014-01-08  1    15
2014-01-09  3    24
2014-02-04  3    24
2014-03-15  1             


        

Answer 1

The other answers didn't work for me. I found the following code, which worked great for me:

SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE DATE IN (SELECT MAX(DATE) FROM TABLE)

I am using SSMS 2014, SQLServer
