这个怎么样:

SELECT DISTINCT ON (name) *
FROM messages
ORDER BY name, id DESC;

我也有类似的问题(在postgresql tough上)，在1M的记录表上。这个解决方案需要1.7秒，而使用LEFT JOIN的解决方案需要44秒。 在我的例子中，我必须根据NULL值过滤您的名称字段的对应项，从而使性能更好0.2秒

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。

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 )  

我也遇到过类似的问题

子查询和加入救援

SELECT p."Date"
        ,p."Symbol"
        ,p."ratio_roll_qtr_ret"
    FROM PUBLIC."prices_vw" AS p
    JOIN (
        SELECT "Symbol"
            ,max("Date")
        FROM PUBLIC."prices_vw"
        GROUP BY "Symbol"
        ) AS sq ON p."Date" = sq."max"
        AND p."Symbol" = sq."Symbol"
    WHERE p."ratio_roll_qtr_ret" IS NOT NULL
    ORDER BY "ratio_roll_qtr_ret" DESC;

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。
