I'm trying to SELECT the most recent record in a table for each person
record in another table. Here's what I have so far:
SELECT
history.*,
persons.person_short_name,
persons.person_long_name
FROM
history, persons
WHERE
persons.id = history.person_id
AND persons.status = 1
GROUP BY history.person_id
ORDER BY history.time_sec DESC
The good thing: It retrieves DISTINCT persons (no duplicates).
The problem: The history rows are not the most recent for each person.
What I would need, theoretically, is for the ORDER BY clause to go
before GROUP BY, but MYSQL doesn't like that it seems.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
...René
