Answer 1

You need to find your MAX values in a subquery, then use those results to join to your main table to retrieve the columns.

SELECT t.OrderFileId, t.ItemNumber, t.ItemCost, t.Warehouse
    FROM YourTable t
        INNER JOIN (SELECT ItemNumber, MAX(OrderFileId) AS MaxOrderId
                        FROM YourTable
                        GROUP BY ItemNumber) q
            ON t.ItemNumber = q.ItemNumber
                AND t.OrderFileId = q.MaxOrderId

Answer 2

select 
    t.* 
from 
    table t 
    inner join (
        select itemnumber, max(orderfileid) maxof
        from table
        group by itemnumber
    ) m on t.itemnumber = m.itemnumber 
            and t.orderfileid = m.maxof

Answer 3

I think what you are looking for is the "Having" clause. Take a look at this.

select orderfileid, max(itemnumber), itemcost, warehouse from MyTable group by orderfileid having max(itemnumber) ;

Answer 4

Try

SELECT * FROM `TABLE` WHERE orderfileid=(select max(orderfileid) from TABLE)

Answer 5

you can refer to a similar problem on how to group things using partitioning and picking one per partition in mysql

this is something similar to doing rank over in Oracle. my previous post was for oracle. my bad..

Answer 6

I wouldn't even use Max. Just combine GROUP BY and ORDER BY

SELECT * FROM orders GROUP BY item_number ORDER BY orderfileid DESC

then for minimum just change to ASC
