如果(UserID, Date)是唯一的，即同一个用户没有出现两次日期，则:

select TheTable.UserID, TheTable.Value
from TheTable inner join (select UserID, max([Date]) MaxDate
                          from TheTable
                          group by UserID) UserMaxDate
     on TheTable.UserID = UserMaxDate.UserID
        TheTable.[Date] = UserMaxDate.MaxDate;

我知道你要求使用Oracle，但是在SQL 2005中我们现在使用这个:

-- Single Value
;WITH ByDate
AS (
SELECT UserId, Value, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY UserId ORDER BY Date DESC) RowNum
FROM UserDates
)
SELECT UserId, Value
FROM ByDate
WHERE RowNum = 1

-- Multiple values where dates match
;WITH ByDate
AS (
SELECT UserId, Value, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY UserId ORDER BY Date DESC) Rnk
FROM UserDates
)
SELECT UserId, Value
FROM ByDate
WHERE Rnk = 1

SELECT a.* 
FROM user a INNER JOIN (SELECT userid,Max(date) AS date12 FROM user1 GROUP BY userid) b  
ON a.date=b.date12 AND a.userid=b.userid ORDER BY a.userid;

Select  
   UserID,  
   Value,  
   Date  
From  
   Table,  
   (  
      Select  
          UserID,  
          Max(Date) as MDate  
      From  
          Table  
      Group by  
          UserID  
    ) as subQuery  
Where  
   Table.UserID = subQuery.UserID and  
   Table.Date = subQuery.mDate  

在PostgreSQL 8.4或更高版本中，你可以这样使用:

select user_id, user_value_1, user_value_2
  from (select user_id, user_value_1, user_value_2, row_number()
          over (partition by user_id order by user_date desc) 
        from users) as r
  where r.row_number=1

使用ROW_NUMBER()为每个UserId按递减日期分配唯一的排名，然后为每个UserId过滤到第一行(即ROW_NUMBER = 1)。

SELECT UserId, Value, Date
FROM (SELECT UserId, Value, Date,
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY UserId ORDER BY Date DESC) rn
      FROM users) u
WHERE rn = 1;
