您也可以尝试使用子选择来完成此操作

SELECT  c.*, p.*
FROM    customer c INNER JOIN
        (
            SELECT  customer_id,
                    MAX(date) MaxDate
            FROM    purchase
            GROUP BY customer_id
        ) MaxDates ON c.id = MaxDates.customer_id INNER JOIN
        purchase p ON   MaxDates.customer_id = p.customer_id
                    AND MaxDates.MaxDate = p.date

选择应加入所有客户和他们的最后购买日期。

表:

Customer => id, name
Purchase => id, customer_id, item_id, date

查询:

SELECT C.id, C.name, P.id, P.date
  FROM customer AS C
  LEFT JOIN purchase AS P ON 
    (
      P.customer_id = C.id 
      AND P.id IN (
        SELECT MAX(PP.id) FROM purchase AS PP GROUP BY PP.customer_id
      )
    )

你也可以指定一些条件到子选择查询

试试这个，会有帮助的。

我在我的项目中使用了这个。

SELECT 
*
FROM
customer c
OUTER APPLY(SELECT top 1 * FROM purchase pi 
WHERE pi.customer_id = c.Id order by pi.Id desc) AS [LastPurchasePrice]

在SQL Server上你可以使用:

SELECT *
FROM customer c
INNER JOIN purchase p on c.id = p.customer_id
WHERE p.id = (
    SELECT TOP 1 p2.id
    FROM purchase p2
    WHERE p.customer_id = p2.customer_id
    ORDER BY date DESC
)

在MySQL上你可以使用:

SELECT c.name, date
FROM customer c
INNER JOIN purchase p on c.id = p.customer_id
WHERE p.id = (
    SELECT p2.id
    FROM purchase p2
    WHERE p.customer_id = p2.customer_id
    ORDER BY date DESC
    LIMIT 1
)

如果你正在使用PostgreSQL，你可以使用DISTINCT ON来查找组中的第一行。

SELECT customer.*, purchase.*
FROM customer
JOIN (
   SELECT DISTINCT ON (customer_id) *
   FROM purchase
   ORDER BY customer_id, date DESC
) purchase ON purchase.customer_id = customer.id

PostgreSQL Docs - Distinct On

注意，DISTINCT ON字段——这里是customer_id——必须匹配ORDER BY子句中最左边的字段。

注意:这是一个非标准条款。

在SQLite上测试:

SELECT c.*, p.*, max(p.date)
FROM customer c
LEFT OUTER JOIN purchase p
ON c.id = p.customer_id
GROUP BY c.id

max()聚合函数将确保从每个组中选择最新的购买(但假设日期列的格式是max()给出最新的—通常情况下是这样)。如果你想处理同一日期的购买，那么你可以使用max(p。目前为止,p.id)。

在索引方面，我将使用一个关于购买的索引(customer_id，日期，[您想在选择中返回的任何其他购买列])。

LEFT OUTER JOIN(相对于INNER JOIN)将确保从未购买过的客户也包括在内。
