Howdy, Raju

Do you want somethin like this? Not sure if I fully understood your requests...

SELECT "Key",MAX(Date)
FROM t_yourTable
WHERE Value LIKE 'foo'
GROUP BY Key ;

Best,
Oliveiros

Subject: [SQL] For each key, find row with highest value of other field


I have some data of the form:

Key | Date       | Value
A   | 2008-05-01 | foo    *
A   | 2008-04-01 | bar
A   | 2008-03-01 | foo    *
B   | 2008-03-04 | baz
B   | 2008-02-04 | bar
C   | 2008-06-03 | foo    *
C   | 2008-04-04 | baz
C   | 2008-03-04 | bar

Is there any way to select only the rows marked with a (*) out of these
without doing a join?  I.e. I wish to find the row with the highest
Date for each Key and use the Value from that.

Regards,
