Need help with query to select the latest revisions of records

13
Hello all,

I have a revisions table with the fields uniqueID, originalID, revNumber, data1, data2 and so on. What I am trying to do is select only the latest revisions for every unique originalID.

For example, if I have the records of uniqueID, originalID, revNumber as follows:
1, 1, 1
2, 1, 2
3, 1, 3
4, 1, 4
5, 2, 1
6, 2, 2
7, 3, 1
8, 3, 2

I want to be able to get uniqueIDs 4, 6, and 8 in the result set.

I've experiemented with a mixture of ORDER BY and GROUP BY clauses with no luck. Can anyone please help?

Hello again,

I've solved my previous problem with using GROUP BY originalid and ORDER BY originalid DESC.
