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

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

参考:http://benincampus.blogspot.com/2013/08/select-rows-which-have-maxmin-value-in.html

SELECT a.userid,a.values1,b.mm 
FROM table_name a,(SELECT userid,Max(date1)AS mm FROM table_name GROUP BY userid) b
WHERE a.userid=b.userid AND a.DATE1=b.mm;

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Oracle 12c+中，你可以使用Top n查询和分析函数排名来实现这一点，而且不需要子查询:

select *
from your_table
order by rank() over (partition by user_id order by my_date desc)
fetch first 1 row with ties;

上面的代码返回每个用户my_date最大的所有行。

如果你只想要一个最大日期的行，那么用row_number替换秩:

select *
from your_table
order by row_number() over (partition by user_id order by my_date desc)
fetch first 1 row with ties; 

这也会处理重复的数据(为每个user_id返回一行):

SELECT *
FROM (
  SELECT u.*, FIRST_VALUE(u.rowid) OVER(PARTITION BY u.user_id ORDER BY u.date DESC) AS last_rowid
  FROM users u
) u2
WHERE u2.rowid = u2.last_rowid
