Hi,

Here is a sample data from table "quiz_results":

id | question_id |  user_id
----+-------------+------------
  2 |          25 | 5142670086
  3 |          26 |
  4 |          26 |
  5 |          27 |
  6 |          25 | 5142670086
  7 |          25 | 5142670086
  8 |          25 | 5142670086
  9 |          26 |
 10 |         40 | 5142670086
 11 |          29 | 5142670086


As you see above question id 25 appeared more than once. This is basically a 
quiz result table where for users as they answered. question_id 25 always the 
first questions. Any user can go though the quiz N number of time. So, I want 
to find the last occurrence of the question_id 25 for any specific user in the 
table, and select that and all answers the users gave after this till the end 
of the quiz. Any idea how to solve it in a single efficient query. My all try 
didn't work out.

test=# create table quiz(id int, question_id int, user_id bigint);
CREATE TABLE

est=# select * from quiz order by id, question_id;


 id | question_id |  user_id
----+-------------+------------
  2 |          25 | 5142670086
  3 |          26 |       NULL
  4 |          26 |       NULL
  4 |          26 |       NULL
  5 |          27 |       NULL
  6 |          25 | 5142670086
  7 |          25 | 5142670086
  8 |          25 | 5142670086
 10 |          40 | 5142670086
 11 |          29 | 5142670086
(10 rows)


test=# select
    *
from
    quiz
where
    user_id = 5142670086
and
    id >=
        (select
            max(id)
        from
            quiz
        where
            user_id = 5142670086
        and
            question_id = 25)
order by
    question_id;

 id | question_id |  user_id
----+-------------+------------
  8 |          25 | 5142670086
 11 |          29 | 5142670086
 10 |          40 | 5142670086
(3 rows)
