SELECT *
FROM Employee
where Employee.Salary in (select max(salary) from Employee group by Employe_id)
ORDER BY Employee.Salary

此解决方案仅从YourTable中进行一次选择，因此速度更快。根据sqlfiddle.com上的测试，它只适用于MySQL和SQLite（用于SQLite删除DESC）。也许可以调整它以适用于我不熟悉的其他语言。

SELECT *
FROM ( SELECT *
       FROM ( SELECT 1 as id, 1 as rev, 'content1' as content
              UNION
              SELECT 2, 1, 'content2'
              UNION
              SELECT 1, 2, 'content3'
              UNION
              SELECT 1, 3, 'content4'
            ) as YourTable
       ORDER BY id, rev DESC
   ) as YourTable
GROUP BY id

这个怎么样：

SELECT all_fields.*  
FROM (SELECT id, MAX(rev) FROM yourtable GROUP BY id) AS max_recs  
LEFT OUTER JOIN yourtable AS all_fields 
ON max_recs.id = all_fields.id

像这样吗？

SELECT yourtable.id, rev, content
FROM yourtable
INNER JOIN (
    SELECT id, max(rev) as maxrev
    FROM yourtable
    GROUP BY id
) AS child ON (yourtable.id = child.id) AND (yourtable.rev = maxrev)

另一种方法是在OVERPARTITION子句中使用MAX（）分析函数

SELECT t.*
  FROM
    (
    SELECT id
          ,rev
          ,contents
          ,MAX(rev) OVER (PARTITION BY id) as max_rev
      FROM YourTable
    ) t
  WHERE t.rev = t.max_rev 

本文中已经记录的另一个ROW_NUMBER（）OVERPARTITION解决方案是

SELECT t.*
  FROM
    (
    SELECT id
          ,rev
          ,contents
          ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY rev DESC) rank
      FROM YourTable
    ) t
  WHERE t.rank = 1 

此2 SELECT在Oracle 10g上运行良好。

MAX（）解决方案的运行速度肯定比ROW_NUMBER（）方案快，因为MAX（）复杂性为O（n），而ROW_NUMBER（）复杂性最低为O（n.log（n）），其中n表示表中的记录数！

不是mySQL，但对于其他发现此问题并使用SQL的人，另一种解决最大的每组问题的方法是在MS SQL中使用交叉应用

WITH DocIds AS (SELECT DISTINCT id FROM docs)

SELECT d2.id, d2.rev, d2.content
FROM DocIds d1
CROSS APPLY (
  SELECT Top 1 * FROM docs d
  WHERE d.id = d1.id
  ORDER BY rev DESC
) d2
