MySQL - using GROUP BY and DESC

Question

In my SQL query I am selecting data with GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses. The table has the same numbers across multiple rows wi

Answer 1

work-around is to re-write the query as:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY time DESC) AS t GROUP BY numbers;

Answer 2

According to the manual you can add desc to the group by list: Example:
group by item1, item2 desc, item3

with or without rollup.

I've tried this and it works in Ubuntu version 5.5.58. The reference page is: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/group-by-modifiers.html

Answer 3

SELECT * FROM TABLE GROUP BY numbers DESC;

This will give you last record from group.

Thanks

Answer 4

SELECT * 
FROM table t
WHERE time = (
    SELECT max(time)
    FROM table
    WHERE t.numbers = numbers
)

Answer 5

SELECT * FROM table
    WHERE time IN (
        SELECT MAX(time)
            FROM table
            GROUP BY numbers
    )
