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)

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
)

如果你在使用Postgres，你可以使用array_agg像

SELECT userid,MAX(adate),(array_agg(value ORDER BY adate DESC))[1] as value
FROM YOURTABLE
GROUP BY userid

我不熟悉甲骨文。这是我想到的

SELECT 
  userid,
  MAX(adate),
  SUBSTR(
    (LISTAGG(value, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY adate DESC)),
    0,
    INSTR((LISTAGG(value, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY adate DESC)), ',')-1
  ) as value 
FROM YOURTABLE
GROUP BY userid 

两个查询返回的结果都与接受的答案相同。看到SQLFiddles:

答案是Oracle。这里有一个更复杂的SQL回答:

谁的整体作业成绩最好(作业点数最多)?

SELECT FIRST, LAST, SUM(POINTS) AS TOTAL
FROM STUDENTS S, RESULTS R
WHERE S.SID = R.SID AND R.CAT = 'H'
GROUP BY S.SID, FIRST, LAST
HAVING SUM(POINTS) >= ALL (SELECT SUM (POINTS)
FROM RESULTS
WHERE CAT = 'H'
GROUP BY SID)

还有一个更难的例子，需要一些解释，我没有时间了

给出2008年最受欢迎的书(ISBN和书名)，即2008年最常被借阅的书。

SELECT X.ISBN, X.title, X.loans
FROM (SELECT Book.ISBN, Book.title, count(Loan.dateTimeOut) AS loans
FROM CatalogEntry Book
LEFT JOIN BookOnShelf Copy
ON Book.bookId = Copy.bookId
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM Loan WHERE YEAR(Loan.dateTimeOut) = 2008) Loan 
ON Copy.copyId = Loan.copyId
GROUP BY Book.title) X
HAVING loans >= ALL (SELECT count(Loan.dateTimeOut) AS loans
FROM CatalogEntry Book
LEFT JOIN BookOnShelf Copy
ON Book.bookId = Copy.bookId
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM Loan WHERE YEAR(Loan.dateTimeOut) = 2008) Loan 
ON Copy.copyId = Loan.copyId
GROUP BY Book.title);

希望这能对(任何人)有所帮助。：）

SELECT userid, MAX(value) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY date DESC)
  FROM table
