In addition to Luigi's and Rolando's responses, there are of course the always glorious "DISTINCT ON" for the "LIMIT 1" case: | SELECT DISTINCT ON (t1.id) t1.id, t2.id, t2.somedate FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1id ORDER BY t1.id, somedate DESC; and window functions for the generic one: | SELECT t1_id, t2_id, t2_somedate FROM | (SELECT t1.id AS t1_id, | t2.id AS t2_id, | t2.somedate AS t2_somedate, | ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY t1.id ORDER BY t2.somedate DESC) AS rn | FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1id) AS SubQuery | WHERE rn <= 2; Tim -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
