Getting the latest record
From SQLZoo
How can I get the Lastest record from SQL
schema:scott
DROP TABLE placement
I have a table like this:
balance keepplace startdate ___________________________________ A01 floor 1 2002-10-10 A01 BBB 2001-08-08 A02 222 2002-07-08 A02 111 2000-01-01 A03 ....
I want to get " where is the keep place for all balance by now? Answer Use a sub-select to get the last date - and make that match the original...
