解决方案由子查询小提琴链接

select * from messages where id in
(select max(id) from messages group by Name)

解决方案通过连接条件小提琴链接

select m1.* from messages m1 
left outer join messages m2 
on ( m1.id<m2.id and m1.name=m2.name )
where m2.id is null

这篇文章的原因是只给小提琴链接。 在其他答案中已经提供了相同的SQL。

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

SELECT 
  column1,
  column2 
FROM
  table_name 
WHERE id IN 
  (SELECT 
    MAX(id) 
  FROM
    table_name 
  GROUP BY column1) 
ORDER BY column1 ;

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。

以下是我的解决方案:

SELECT 
  DISTINCT NAME,
  MAX(MESSAGES) OVER(PARTITION BY NAME) MESSAGES 
FROM MESSAGE;

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。
