Hi mysql-ers,

I need help in a basic query:

I have this table:

select * from isr2_aud_log where 
id_secr_rqst IN ('TASK23C6054B9D416C08:1284FD4:103FB047DF1:-7ECF') 
--and name_rec_type = 'Assignment'
order by id_secr_rqst, dt_aud_rec
 
+------------------------------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| id_secr_rqst | dt_aud_rec | name_rec_type |

and i am using this query:

SELECT t1.id_secr_rqst task_id, MAX(t2.dt_aud_rec) AS latest,
t1.dt_aud_recAS date1
FROM isr2_aud_log t1, isr2_aud_log t2 WHERE t1.id_secr_rqst = 
t2.id_secr_rqst 
AND t1.name_rec_type = 'Assignment' AND 
t1.id_secr_rqst IN (
'TASK23C6054B9D416C08:1284FD4:103FB047DF1:-7ECF') 
GROUP BY t2.id_secr_rqst HAVING date1 = latest

What I expected to get is the id_secr_rqst which has the last name_rec_type 
= 'Assignment'
In this case there is only one id_secr_rqst and it has the last 
name_rec_type as 'Assignment'. But I do not seem to get consistent results.
As I am using an older version of mysql I do not have the liberty to use 
subqueries and will have to do everything using joins only. 

The problem I am facing is that this query only sometimes returns rows and 
most of the time I get an empty result set. This table does not have any 
primary keys.

Can somebody please point out what is the mistake I am doing - I think it 
just needs a tweak here and there (I hope..)

Thanks,
Anoop
