SELECT t1.item_id, t1.dt, t1.text
FROM table AS t1
LEFT JOIN table AS t2 ON t1.item_id = t2.item_id AND t1.dt < t2.dt
WHERE t2.item_id IS NULL;

The situation is somewhat hard to describe, so please bare
with me:
I am trying to group my results by the last activity on each row, my
query
looks like this
select text, dt, item_id from table
where ....
group by item_id
order by dt DESC
here is an example record set.
text1,2006-06-28 10:00:00,4
text2,2006-06-28 10:15:00,4
text3,2006-06-28 10:30:00,8
text4,2006-06-28 11:00:00,8
the results from the above query would be:
text1,2006-06-28 10:00:00,4
text3,2006-06-28 10:30:00,8
my problem is that i want the other item to show up. the item with the
most
recent DT. it is doing the grouping before it does the ordering. how do
i
specify that I want to see the most recent info when it does the group?
thanks in advance.
