我知道你要求使用Oracle，但是在SQL 2005中我们现在使用这个:

-- Single Value
;WITH ByDate
AS (
SELECT UserId, Value, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY UserId ORDER BY Date DESC) RowNum
FROM UserDates
)
SELECT UserId, Value
FROM ByDate
WHERE RowNum = 1

-- Multiple values where dates match
;WITH ByDate
AS (
SELECT UserId, Value, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY UserId ORDER BY Date DESC) Rnk
FROM UserDates
)
SELECT UserId, Value
FROM ByDate
WHERE Rnk = 1

检查这个链接，如果你的问题似乎类似的页面，然后我会建议你下面的查询，将给出该链接的解决方案

选择不同的sno,item_name,max(start_date) over(sno分区)，max(end_date) over(sno分区)，max(creation_date) over(sno分区)， Max (last_modified_date) over(sno分区) 从uniq_select_records 按sno,item_name asc排序;

是否会给出与该链接相关的准确结果

首先，我看错了问题，下面是一个完整的例子，结果是正确的:

CREATE TABLE table_name (id int, the_value varchar(2), the_date datetime);

INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(1 ,'a','1/1/2000');
INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(1 ,'b','2/2/2002');
INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(2 ,'c','1/1/2000');
INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(2 ,'d','3/3/2003');
INSERT INTO table_name (id,the_value,the_date) VALUES(2 ,'e','3/3/2003');

--

  select id, the_value
      from table_name u1
      where the_date = (select max(the_date)
                     from table_name u2
                     where u1.id = u2.id)

--

id          the_value
----------- ---------
2           d
2           e
1           b

(3 row(s) affected)

SELECT a.* 
FROM user a INNER JOIN (SELECT userid,Max(date) AS date12 FROM user1 GROUP BY userid) b  
ON a.date=b.date12 AND a.userid=b.userid ORDER BY a.userid;

MySQL没有分区KEEP, DENSE_RANK概念的解决方案。

select userid,
       my_date,
       ...
from
(
select @sno:= case when @pid<>userid then 0
                    else @sno+1
    end as serialnumber, 
    @pid:=userid,
       my_Date,
       ...
from   users order by userid, my_date
) a
where a.serialnumber=0

使用ROW_NUMBER()为每个UserId按递减日期分配唯一的排名，然后为每个UserId过滤到第一行(即ROW_NUMBER = 1)。

SELECT UserId, Value, Date
FROM (SELECT UserId, Value, Date,
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY UserId ORDER BY Date DESC) rn
      FROM users) u
WHERE rn = 1;
