答案是Oracle。这里有一个更复杂的SQL回答:

谁的整体作业成绩最好(作业点数最多)?

SELECT FIRST, LAST, SUM(POINTS) AS TOTAL
FROM STUDENTS S, RESULTS R
WHERE S.SID = R.SID AND R.CAT = 'H'
GROUP BY S.SID, FIRST, LAST
HAVING SUM(POINTS) >= ALL (SELECT SUM (POINTS)
FROM RESULTS
WHERE CAT = 'H'
GROUP BY SID)

还有一个更难的例子，需要一些解释，我没有时间了

给出2008年最受欢迎的书(ISBN和书名)，即2008年最常被借阅的书。

SELECT X.ISBN, X.title, X.loans
FROM (SELECT Book.ISBN, Book.title, count(Loan.dateTimeOut) AS loans
FROM CatalogEntry Book
LEFT JOIN BookOnShelf Copy
ON Book.bookId = Copy.bookId
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM Loan WHERE YEAR(Loan.dateTimeOut) = 2008) Loan 
ON Copy.copyId = Loan.copyId
GROUP BY Book.title) X
HAVING loans >= ALL (SELECT count(Loan.dateTimeOut) AS loans
FROM CatalogEntry Book
LEFT JOIN BookOnShelf Copy
ON Book.bookId = Copy.bookId
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM Loan WHERE YEAR(Loan.dateTimeOut) = 2008) Loan 
ON Copy.copyId = Loan.copyId
GROUP BY Book.title);

希望这能对(任何人)有所帮助。：）

问候 古斯

(T-SQL)首先获取所有用户及其最大日期。与表连接以查找maxdates上用户的对应值。

create table users (userid int , value int , date datetime)
insert into users values (1, 1, '20010101')
insert into users values (1, 2, '20020101')
insert into users values (2, 1, '20010101')
insert into users values (2, 3, '20030101')

select T1.userid, T1.value, T1.date 
    from users T1,
    (select max(date) as maxdate, userid from users group by userid) T2    
    where T1.userid= T2.userid and T1.date = T2.maxdate

结果:

userid      value       date                                    
----------- ----------- -------------------------- 
2           3           2003-01-01 00:00:00.000
1           2           2002-01-01 00:00:00.000

如果(UserID, Date)是唯一的，即同一个用户没有出现两次日期，则:

select TheTable.UserID, TheTable.Value
from TheTable inner join (select UserID, max([Date]) MaxDate
                          from TheTable
                          group by UserID) UserMaxDate
     on TheTable.UserID = UserMaxDate.UserID
        TheTable.[Date] = UserMaxDate.MaxDate;

难道一个qualified子句不是既简单又最好吗?

select userid, my_date, ...
from users
qualify rank() over (partition by userid order by my_date desc) = 1

对于上下文，在Teradata这里一个像样的大小测试运行在17秒与这个合格版本和在23秒与“内联视图”/Aldridge解决方案#1。

由于不工作，我手头没有Oracle，但我似乎记得Oracle允许在一个in子句中匹配多个列，这至少应该避免使用相关子查询的选项，这很少是一个好主意。

可能是这样的(不记得列列表是否应该加括号):

SELECT * 
FROM MyTable
WHERE (User, Date) IN
  ( SELECT User, MAX(Date) FROM MyTable GROUP BY User)

编辑:刚刚真的试了一下:

SQL> create table MyTable (usr char(1), dt date);
SQL> insert into mytable values ('A','01-JAN-2009');
SQL> insert into mytable values ('B','01-JAN-2009');
SQL> insert into mytable values ('A', '31-DEC-2008');
SQL> insert into mytable values ('B', '31-DEC-2008');
SQL> select usr, dt from mytable
  2  where (usr, dt) in 
  3  ( select usr, max(dt) from mytable group by usr)
  4  /

U DT
- ---------
A 01-JAN-09
B 01-JAN-09

所以它是有效的，尽管其他地方提到的一些新东西可能性能更好。

这应该非常简单:

SELECT UserId, Value
FROM Users u
WHERE Date = (SELECT MAX(Date) FROM Users WHERE UserID = u.UserID)
