Hi, Gary,

Unless I'm mistaken this didn't give what you need.
Could you please tell me (if you have time) the error returned or wrong result, just for my own understanding of where I've gone sideways on this...?

Best,
Oliver

Sorry, Gary,

I made  a mistake on the last column.

It should be

SELECT subq.s_stock_no,subq.s_regno,subq.s_vin,subq.s_created,subq.m,
sec.ud_handover_date
FROM
(select s_stock_no, s_regno, s_vin, s_created, MAX(ud_id) as m
from  stock s
left outer join used_diary u
on s.s_regno = u.ud_pex_registration
where s_stock_no = 'UL15470';
GROUP s_stock_no,s_regno,s_vin,s_created
) subq
JOIN
used_diary sec
ON subq.m = sec.ud_id

Best,
Oliver

Hello again, Gary,

I don't know if this query works OK, i havent tried it.

But, If I understood correctly this can be one way to do what you want. Could you please tell me if it worked and if it didn't why, so we can tweak it.

Best,
Oliver

SELECT subq.s_stock_no,subq.s_regno,subq.s_vin,subq.s_created,subq.m, sec.s_creacted
FROM
(select s_stock_no, s_regno, s_vin, s_created, MAX(ud_id) as m
from  stock s
left outer join used_diary u
on s.s_regno = u.ud_pex_registration
where s_stock_no = 'UL15470';
GROUP s_stock_no,s_regno,s_vin,s_created
) subq
JOIN
used_diary sec
ON subq.m = sec.ud_id

Appologies for not making it clearer. stock_details is simply a view of table stock, pulling in some lookup values. used_diary is the name of the table containing the tax requests. It's called the used_diary because it was the
diary for taxing used vehicles.

Here is a select to show the problem. There is one stock record and two tax records. What I'm looking for is how I can return only the second tax record,
the one with the highest ud_id

select s_stock_no, s_regno, s_vin, s_created, ud_id, ud_handover_date from stock s left outer join used_diary u on s.s_regno = u.ud_pex_registration
where s_stock_no = 'UL15470';

s_stock_no | s_regno |       s_vin       |         s_created          |
ud_id | ud_handover_date
------------+---------+-------------------+----------------------------+-------+------------------
UL15470    | YG12*** | KNADN312LC6****** | 2012-05-21 09:15:31.569471 |

Gary,

You describe two tables vehicle stock and tax requests. The former has a
one-to-many relationship wit the second one, right?

But your query involves stock details and used_diary.

What is the relationship of these two new tables to the previous ones?

Could you please kindly supply an example of what you have and of the
desired output? For me it would be easier...

Best,
Oliver
