If you also want LIMIT N, the easiest way is probably the use of a window function (PostgreSQL >= 8.4): SELECT i1, i2, somedate FROM ( SELECT t1.id AS i1, t2.id AS i2, t2.somedate, rank() OVER (PARTITION BY t1.id ORDER BY t2.somedate DESC) FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t2.t1id = t1.id ) dummy WHERE rank <= $N -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
