Hi there! I have two tables:
Customer (ID, Name)
Invoice (ID, Date, Customer, Amount)
and want to select only the *last* invoice for each customer. It's easy
to get each customer's last invoice date:
SELECT Customer.Name, MAX(Invoice.Dat e)
FROM Customer INNER JOIN Invoice ON Custimer.ID = Invoice.Custome r
GROUP BY Customer.Name
but I run into trouble when I try to include the Invoice.Amount. How to
do this in one SQL statement? I came up with:
SELECT Customer.Name, Invoice.Date, Invoice.Amount
FROM Customer INNER JOIN Invoice ON Custimer.ID = Invoice.Custome r
WHERE Invoice.ID IN
(
SELECT MID(key, INSTR(key, ":") + 1) FROM
(
SELECT Customer, MAX(CLNG(Invoic e.Date) & ":" & CLNG(Invoice.ID ))
AS key
FROM Invoice
GROUP BY Customer
)
)
which leaves me somewhat unsatisfied. (And it won't work if the same
customer is invoiced twice on the same day.) There's got to be a more
elegant way to do this. Any ideas? 1 4831

I want to test to see if I am on the last page of a document. In this
example it is an invoice. I want to print a different table in REGION
AFTER when I am on the last page. I have tried many variations, no luck
yet. It seems like it should be an easy thing to do with xsl:choose.
Any ideas? Here is one of my attempts.
More detail of what the xml, xsl and pdf look like are here:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
