我有一个表，它是一个关于用户何时登录的集合条目。
username, date, value
--------------------------
brad, 1/2/2010, 1.1
fred, 1/3/2010, 1.0
bob, 8/4/2009, 1.5
brad, 2/2/2010, 1.2
fred, 12/2/2009, 1.3
etc..
我如何创建一个查询，将给我每个用户的最新日期?
更新:我忘记了我需要有一个值与最近的日期。

使用窗口函数(适用于Oracle, Postgres 8.4, SQL Server 2005, DB2, Sybase, Firebird 3.0, MariaDB 10.3)
select * from (
select
username,
date,
value,
row_number() over(partition by username order by date desc) as rn
from
yourtable
) t
where t.rn = 1
其他回答
您可以使用聚合函数MAX和GROUP BY
SELECT username, MAX(date), value FROM tablename GROUP BY username, value

这与上面的一个答案相似，但在我看来，它更简单、更整洁。此外，还展示了交叉apply语句的良好用法。SQL Server 2005及以上版本…
select
a.username,
a.date,
a.value,
from yourtable a
cross apply (select max(date) 'maxdate' from yourtable a1 where a.username=a1.username) b
where a.date=b.maxdate
根据我的经验，最快的方法是取表中没有新行的每一行。
另一个优点是所使用的语法非常简单，而且查询的含义相当容易掌握(取所有行，确保所考虑的用户名不存在更新的行)。
不存在
SELECT username, value
FROM t
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM t AS witness
WHERE witness.username = t.username AND witness.date > t.date
);
ROW_NUMBER
SELECT username, value
FROM (
SELECT username, value, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY username ORDER BY date DESC) AS rn
FROM t
) t2
WHERE rn = 1
内连接
SELECT t.username, t.value
FROM t
INNER JOIN (
SELECT username, MAX(date) AS date
FROM t
GROUP BY username
) tm ON t.username = tm.username AND t.date = tm.date;
左外连接
SELECT username, value
FROM t
LEFT OUTER JOIN t AS w ON t.username = w.username AND t.date < w.date
WHERE w.username IS NULL
SELECT t1.username, t1.date, value
FROM MyTable as t1
INNER JOIN (SELECT username, MAX(date)
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY username) as t2 ON t2.username = t1.username AND t2.date = t1.date
