根据您的问题，下面的查询将很好地工作。

SELECT M1.* 
FROM MESSAGES M1,
(
 SELECT SUBSTR(Others_data,1,2),MAX(Others_data) AS Max_Others_data
 FROM MESSAGES
 GROUP BY 1
) M2
WHERE M1.Others_data = M2.Max_Others_data
ORDER BY Others_data;

这是另一个没有子查询的选项。

本解决方案使用MySQL的LAST_VALUE窗口函数，利用窗口函数框架提供MySQL工具。

SELECT DISTINCT 
    LAST_VALUE(Id)            
        OVER(PARTITION BY Name 
             ORDER     BY Id 
             ROWS BETWEEN 0 PRECEDING 
                      AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING),
    Name,
    LAST_VALUE(Other_Columns)            
        OVER(PARTITION BY Name 
             ORDER     BY Id 
             ROWS BETWEEN 0 PRECEDING 
                      AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING)
FROM   
    tab

在这里试试。

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

显然，有很多不同的方法得到相同的结果，你的问题似乎是什么是一个有效的方法得到最后的结果在每组MySQL。如果你正在处理大量的数据，并且假设你正在使用InnoDB，即使是最新版本的MySQL(比如5.7.21和8.0.4-rc)，那么可能没有一个有效的方法来做到这一点。

有时我们需要对超过6000万行的表执行此操作。

对于这些示例，我将使用只有大约150万行的数据，其中查询需要为数据中的所有组找到结果。在我们的实际情况中，我们经常需要返回大约2000个组的数据(假设不需要检查很多数据)。

我将使用以下表格:

CREATE TABLE temperature(
  id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 
  groupID INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, 
  recordedTimestamp TIMESTAMP NOT NULL, 
  recordedValue INT NOT NULL,
  INDEX groupIndex(groupID, recordedTimestamp), 
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE selected_group(id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id)); 

温度表由大约150万条随机记录和100个不同的组填充。 selected_group由这100个组填充(在我们的例子中，所有组通常小于20%)。

由于该数据是随机的，这意味着多行可以具有相同的recordedTimestamps。我们想要的是获得所有选中的组的列表，这些组按groupID顺序排列，每个组的最后一个recordedTimestamp，如果同一个组有多个这样的匹配行，那么这些行的最后一个匹配id。

如果假设MySQL有一个last()函数，它从一个特殊的ORDER BY子句中返回最后一行的值，那么我们可以简单地这样做:

SELECT 
  last(t1.id) AS id, 
  t1.groupID, 
  last(t1.recordedTimestamp) AS recordedTimestamp, 
  last(t1.recordedValue) AS recordedValue
FROM selected_group g
INNER JOIN temperature t1 ON t1.groupID = g.id
ORDER BY t1.recordedTimestamp, t1.id
GROUP BY t1.groupID;

which would only need to examine a few 100 rows in this case as it doesn't use any of the normal GROUP BY functions. This would execute in 0 seconds and hence be highly efficient. Note that normally in MySQL we would see an ORDER BY clause following the GROUP BY clause however this ORDER BY clause is used to determine the ORDER for the last() function, if it was after the GROUP BY then it would be ordering the GROUPS. If no GROUP BY clause is present then the last values will be the same in all of the returned rows.

但是MySQL没有这个，所以让我们看看它有什么不同的想法，并证明这些都不是有效的。

示例1

SELECT t1.id, t1.groupID, t1.recordedTimestamp, t1.recordedValue
FROM selected_group g
INNER JOIN temperature t1 ON t1.id = (
  SELECT t2.id
  FROM temperature t2 
  WHERE t2.groupID = g.id
  ORDER BY t2.recordedTimestamp DESC, t2.id DESC
  LIMIT 1
);

    OR (t2.recordedTimestamp = t1.recordedTimestamp AND t2.id > t1.id)
  )
WHERE t2.id IS NULL
ORDER BY t1.groupID;

这只花了很长时间，所以我不得不杀了它。

这里有两个建议。首先，如果mysql支持ROW_NUMBER()，这很简单:

WITH Ranked AS (
  SELECT Id, Name, OtherColumns,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
      PARTITION BY Name
      ORDER BY Id DESC
    ) AS rk
  FROM messages
)
  SELECT Id, Name, OtherColumns
  FROM messages
  WHERE rk = 1;

我猜你说的"最后"是指最后一个。如果不是，则相应地更改ROW_NUMBER()窗口的ORDER BY子句。如果ROW_NUMBER()不可用，这是另一个解决方案:

其次，如果没有，这通常是一个很好的方法:

SELECT
  Id, Name, OtherColumns
FROM messages
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
  SELECT * FROM messages as M2
  WHERE M2.Name = messages.Name
  AND M2.Id > messages.Id
)

换句话说，选择没有相同名称的later-Id消息的消息。

第一个解决方案

SELECT d1.ID,Name,City FROM Demo_User d1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT MAX(ID) AS ID FROM Demo_User GROUP By NAME) AS P ON (d1.ID=P.ID);

第二个解决方案

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM Demo_User ORDER BY ID DESC) AS T GROUP BY NAME ;
