Hi


Try:

select  t1.sensor_id,t1.temp_c
from temperature t1
where t1.timestamp = (select max(t2.timestamp)
                                        from temperature t2
                    where t1.sensor_id=t2.sensor_id)

All...

I have a question about a query over which I've been racking my brain
for weeks, and I can't find a reference to adequately assist me.

Given a table of temperature sensors, and a table of readings from those
sensors, how might I grab the max (hence latest or current) temperature
reading for each sensor?  The relevant fields in the tables are
timestamp and temp_c (temperature table), and sensorid (both temperature
and sensor tables).

I'm fairly certain that I'm overlooking something very elementary, and I
feel it should be simple and straightforward, but I think I'm being
stymied by the use of aggregate functions in my query.  I can provide
examples of my failed attempts, if you'd like.  Thanks in advance for
any assistance you can provide.
