Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQL: getting
latest record
12/14/2003 10:47

My application is that I am getting the latest quote for a price where more
than one quote may have been made.
I've got a timestamp colum and I want to get the latest record where
certain
columns have certain values. Eg
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Field1='test' ...? something about the
timestamp
I may also have an OR in the condition, like WHERE Field1='test1' OR
Field2=test2'... 'test1' and test2' would be different products.
Do I have to use ASCending or DESCending on the timestamp column and LIMIT?
Never done this before so suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
John
