[charles07]

how can i get records by the latest date. ie. select last inserted records. mysql db structure below

timestamp  method  id comment
2009-01-10 getThud 16 "....."
2009-01-10 getFoo  12 "....."
2009-01-10 getBar  12 "....."
2009-01-11 getFoo  12 "....."
2009-01-11 getBar  12 "....."

desired results

timestamp  method  id comment
2009-01-10 getThud 16 "....."
2009-01-11 getFoo  12 "....."
2009-01-11 getBar  12 "....."

I used below code, iam not sure whether it's the right approach.

select max(timestamp),method,id from tables where 1 group by method,id order by timestamp desc

wooooooooow, i tried this, it's working

SELECT a.`timestamp`,a.`method`,a.`id`,d.`studentname`
FROM `schools` a
INNER JOIN `schoolstudent` d ON a.`studentid`=d.`studentid`
WHERE a.`pid` IN (
    SELECT MAX(`pid`)
    FROM `schools`
    GROUP BY `method`,`id`,`order`
) 
ORDER BY a.`id` ASC;
