I had tried this as per Oracle Metalink Note.When I add the group by ID it will 
display both the records like
2       1/20/2003 2:56:18 AM
1       4/23/2003 10:26:42 PM

but I want to see the only the record with the latest time stamp like
1       4/23/2003 10:26:42 PM

Add "group by ID;" as in:



SELECT ID,MAX(LastModDate) FROM Tab group by ID;

i have a query that returns 2 rows with one column being id and the other
being date-time stamp.


i want to select the row with the latest timestamp among those two
records.they have difference id values

SELECT ID,LastModDate
FROM Tab


ID      LastModDate
--      -----------
2       1/20/2003 2:56:18 AM
1       4/23/2003 10:26:42 PM

I want to modify the above query to return the row with id=1 which has the
latest timestamp


I tried this

SELECT ID,MAX(LastModDate)
FROM  Tab

getting this error
OERR: ORA 937 not a single-group group function

how do i get this work.

Thanks
