Author SQL HELP WITH LAST TIME ONLY
TYE

2005-11-28, 7:24 am

I have got a SQL query that get information from different databases,

I have all the information that I need but now I want the last information

I have three columns they are the following

Number
Durations
Date and time

I want to only select the last day and time from each records, at the moment
I have duplicate with the same numbers.

e.g

Namber Durations Dat
e and time

23 4:53 2005-11-17 16:38:15
23 9:21 2005-11-21 14:22:15
23 21:54 2005-11-25 17:41:21

So I just want the last date (as you can see below) not all three as you can
see above


Namber Durations Dat
e and time

23 21:54 2005-11-25 17:41:21

Hi TYE,

For just one row with the last date and time:

SELECT TOP 1 Number, Durations, [Date and time]
FROM YourTable
ORDER BY [Date and time] DESC

For the last date and time of each Number:

SELECT t.Number, t.Durations, t.[Date and time]
FROM YourTable ASt
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM YourTable AS t2
WHERE t2.Number = t.Number
AND t2.[Date and time] = t.[Date and time])

Best, Hugo
