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

Answer 2

You can use left join as

select 
t1.* from table_name t1
left join table_name t2
on t1.Id = t2.Id and t1.Date >t2.Date
where t2.Id is null

Answer 3

Another way is by using INNER JOIN

Find the latest date per ID then join result back to the table to get the value

select A.ID,A.Date,A.value 
from yourtable A 
INNER JOIN 
(
select MAX(date) as Date,ID 
from yourtable
group by ID 
) B
ON A.ID =B.ID and A.Date = B.Date

Answer 4

You can also use Max() in sql:

SELECT date, id, total
   FROM table as a WHERE date = (SELECT MAX(date)
   FROM table as b
  WHERE a.id = b.id
 )

Answer 5

You can do it as below

SELECT *
FROM YourTable D
WHERE date = (SELECT MAX(date) FROM YourTable WHERE ID = D.ID)
