首先，我看错了问题，下面是一个完整的例子，结果是正确的:

CREATE TABLE table_name (id int, the_value varchar(2), the_date datetime);

INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(1 ,'a','1/1/2000');
INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(1 ,'b','2/2/2002');
INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(2 ,'c','1/1/2000');
INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(2 ,'d','3/3/2003');
INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(2 ,'e','3/3/2003');

--

  select id, the_value
      from table_name u1
      where the_date = (select max(the_date)
                     from table_name u2
                     where u1.id = u2.id)

--

id          the_value
----------- ---------
2           d
2           e
1           b

(3 row(s) affected)

(T-SQL)首先获取所有用户及其最大日期。与表连接以查找maxdates上用户的对应值。

create table users (userid int , value int , date datetime)
insert into users values (1, 1, '20010101')
insert into users values (1, 2, '20020101')
insert into users values (2, 1, '20010101')
insert into users values (2, 3, '20030101')

select T1.userid, T1.value, T1.date 
    from users T1,
    (select max(date) as maxdate, userid from users group by userid) T2    
    where T1.userid= T2.userid and T1.date = T2.maxdate

结果:

userid      value       date                                    
----------- ----------- -------------------------- 
2           3           2003-01-01 00:00:00.000
1           2           2002-01-01 00:00:00.000

我不知道你的列的确切名称，但它应该是这样的:

SELECT userid, value
FROM users u1
WHERE date = (
    SELECT MAX(date)
    FROM users u2
    WHERE u1.userid = u2.userid
)

select VALUE from TABLE1 where TIME = 
   (select max(TIME) from TABLE1 where DATE= 
   (select max(DATE) from TABLE1 where CRITERIA=CRITERIA))

MySQL没有分区KEEP, DENSE_RANK概念的解决方案。

select userid,
       my_date,
       ...
from
(
select @sno:= case when @pid<>userid then 0
                    else @sno+1
    end as serialnumber, 
    @pid:=userid,
       my_Date,
       ...
from   users order by userid, my_date
) a
where a.serialnumber=0

由于不工作，我手头没有Oracle，但我似乎记得Oracle允许在一个in子句中匹配多个列，这至少应该避免使用相关子查询的选项，这很少是一个好主意。

可能是这样的(不记得列列表是否应该加括号):

SELECT * 
FROM MyTable
WHERE (User, Date) IN
  ( SELECT User, MAX(Date) FROM MyTable GROUP BY User)

编辑:刚刚真的试了一下:

SQL> create table MyTable (usr char(1), dt date);
SQL> insert into mytable values ('A','01-JAN-2009');
SQL> insert into mytable values ('B','01-JAN-2009');
SQL> insert into mytable values ('A', '31-DEC-2008');
SQL> insert into mytable values ('B', '31-DEC-2008');
SQL> select usr, dt from mytable
  2  where (usr, dt) in 
  3  ( select usr, max(dt) from mytable group by usr)
  4  /

U DT
- ---------
A 01-JAN-09
B 01-JAN-09

所以它是有效的，尽管其他地方提到的一些新东西可能性能更好。
