SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE primary_key IN (SELECT MAX(primary_key) FROM table_name GROUP BY column_name )

如果需要每个Name的最后一行，那么可以按Name为每个行组提供行号，并按Id降序排序。

查询

SELECT t1.Id, 
       t1.Name, 
       t1.Other_Columns
FROM 
(
     SELECT Id, 
            Name, 
            Other_Columns,
    (
        CASE Name WHEN @curA 
        THEN @curRow := @curRow + 1 
        ELSE @curRow := 1 AND @curA := Name END 
    ) + 1 AS rn 
    FROM messages t, 
    (SELECT @curRow := 0, @curA := '') r 
    ORDER BY Name,Id DESC 
)t1
WHERE t1.rn = 1
ORDER BY t1.Id;

Hi @Vijay Dev如果你的表消息包含Id，这是自动增加主键，然后在主键上获取最新的记录，你的查询应该如下所示:

SELECT m1.* FROM messages m1 INNER JOIN (SELECT max(Id) as lastmsgId FROM messages GROUP BY Name) m2 ON m1.Id=m2.lastmsgId

试试这个:

SELECT jos_categories.title AS name,
       joined .catid,
       joined .title,
       joined .introtext
FROM   jos_categories
       INNER JOIN (SELECT *
                   FROM   (SELECT `title`,
                                  catid,
                                  `created`,
                                  introtext
                           FROM   `jos_content`
                           WHERE  `sectionid` = 6
                           ORDER  BY `id` DESC) AS yes
                   GROUP  BY `yes`.`catid` DESC
                   ORDER  BY `yes`.`created` DESC) AS joined
         ON( joined.catid = jos_categories.id )  

我得到了一个不同的解决方案，这是获得每个组中最后一个帖子的id，然后从消息表中选择使用第一个查询的结果作为WHERE x IN构造的参数:

SELECT id, name, other_columns
FROM messages
WHERE id IN (
    SELECT MAX(id)
    FROM messages
    GROUP BY name
);

我不知道与其他一些解决方案相比，它的性能如何，但对于我有300多万行的表来说，它的效果非常好。(4秒执行，1200+结果)

这应该工作在MySQL和SQL Server。

你可以通过计数来分组，也可以得到分组的最后一项，比如:

SELECT 
    user,
    COUNT(user) AS count,
    MAX(id) as last
FROM request 
GROUP BY user
